Class 52: Rambam's Introduction; exploring the lives and teachings of our Chachamim (Sages), focusing in this class on Shemayah and Avtalyon; the fourth generation of Zugot; a tangent in praise of the heroism and lofty stature of "Gere HaTzedek" - righteous converts to Judaism; the mistreatment of Gerim at the hands of the Jewish community; briefly recalling a Shiur of Rabbi Yosef Zarnighian regarding Gerim holding the office of Navi; Unite State's law requires the President to be born in the United States; a different understanding of the concept of "Serara"; perhaps a poor reflection but accurate understanding of Jewish society; women in positions of authority in the writings of Rabbi Benzion Meir Hai Uziel; Jewish descendants of Sancheriv and Haman; Jewish communities which don't count Gerim for a Minyan; Rambam consistently understands that Shemayah and Avtalyon are actual Gerim and not descendants of Gerim; imitation of one's rabbi; a unique tradition of Rabbi Yosef Kapach; a possible precedent to the Spanish Portugese custom of wearing special ritual clothing only in the synagogue; a showdown between the Kohen Gadol - High Priest - and Rabbinic leadership; a moving story and the legacy of Akavyah Ben Mehalalel; and more!
