NEW SERIES!

Ever wonder what you're made of, what you're meant to do with that all, how to draw close to G-d in light of it, how to change what you don't like about yourself and maintain what you do, and what G-d and we are all about for the most part, too? Then join in on Rabbi Yaakov Feldman's new Spiritual Excellence series, based on Rabbi Moshe Maimonides's (Rambam's) "Eight Chapters".

Rambam actually wrote "Eight Chapters" as a prelude to his comments upon Pirke Avot ("The Ethics of the Fathers") but it has always been regarded as a seminal work onto itself. A very early composition, "Eight Chapters" lays out themes that Rambam explains in great detail in his later works. So it serves as a wonderful introduction to Rambam's idea and ideals, and it details very specific ways you and I can indeed achieve spiritual excellence.

As has been the pattern in our past Spiritual Excellence works, we won't be reading the text itself so much as a paraphrase of it with occasional quotes, along with explanations.
