Item Description:

"The Guide to the Perplexed" is the most controversial of all the Rambam's books. Intended for Torah scholars rather than the masses, it tackles such philosophical challenges as free will and predestination, the role of allegory in the Talmud, the reasons for the mitzvos, and why bad things happen to good people. Rabbi Wein touches on each of these, giving us a glimpse into this monumental work that was banned and burned in its time.
