	Rambam ( Miamonidies )
		The Rambam, Rabbeinu Moshe ben Maimon, was born on Erev Pesach which fell on Shabbos in the year 1135 in the city of Cordova, which lies in southern Spain.
		After the Rambam's death (in 1204, at the age of 70), the criticism became more vocal, violent and tragic as some began putting a rabbinical ban (a cherem) on anyone studying his philosophical works-the Moreh Nevuchim.
		In December of 1204 at the age of 70, the mighty Rambam died in Fostat, Egypt.

	The Rambam ZT"L - Reb Moshe Ben Maimon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Rambam was born on erev Pesach, 4896.
		The Rambam explained that in other Shmad periods, the Jews were forced to alter their entire lifestyles, while in Morocco, the Moslems knew that the Jews continued to observe the mitzvos in secret, and made no effort to halt that observance.
		The Rambam's next work was Moreh Nevuchim, which he wrote to dispel the doubts of many of his contemporaries who had begun to cast off Torah's yoke as a result of their study of Greek philosophy.

	Philosophic Differences between Rambam & Ramban (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rambam declared that he had read all the extant astrological books, and decried the fact that people naturally give credence to any doctrine that is recorded in a text, even if it is nonsense.
		Rambam's refusal to countenance, the thought that the Rabbis would ever restrict the scope of beneficial remedies, and his declaration that the Torah is interested in the well being of the human body supplement his disavowal of sham magical cures.
		Rambam did concede the validity of empirical medicine, i.e., cures that "worked" even though their causes remained unknown, and did not advocate the position of the Dogmatic physicians of antiquity who exclusively based their cures upon "principles" (i.e., treatments whose causes were fully understood in light of contemporary science) alone.

	Moreh Nevuchim Chapters 37
		Rambam next takes up the question of why items of idol worship should be completely prohibited to gain any profit, even from the destroyed pieces of them, and his answer feeds into the same picture of people who tend to believe in the occult.
		Rambam says that if a person were to have any remnant of an idol in his possession and from that point on were to succeed in business (or health, or whatever), that person might end up crediting the idol-worship item with having brought about the change in his fortune.
		Rambam has two more concerns in this chapter, how the idolaters coerced or convinced people to join their particular forms of idolatry, and how those practices were expected to affect agriculture, the central focus of the Sabian worship.

	The Coalescing of Belief with Knowledge
		However, the crux of the Rambam’s position, to wit, that the supreme and most perfect human being is the philosophically trained talmudists traditional Jew, is made out in the incisive and convincing analysis by Isadore Twersky and there is no point in repeating the analysis here.
		Ordinarily, one may conclude that Rambam merely had a change of mind and one work was written years after the initial work and Rambam had exhibited a change of thought (something that is exhibited in other works).
		Rambam clearly holds that if no alternative to a belief is possible, and the mind determines that such is the case, the mind can be said to know the proposition.

	Jewish Law - Articles ("Suing Your Rabbi: Clergy Malpractice in Jewish Law")
		Rambam's opinion is contrary to what we have previously established as exemption in cases of gerama and is not in accord with the talmudic evaluation of similar circumstances.
		Rambam clearly maintains that as long as the damager is responsible for a cause in fact, even if he is not the perpetrator of a proximate cause, he is liable.
		For Rambam, the issue is not one of the clergyman's contribution to Nally's suicide through counseling; he holds that such behavior is unactionable, as the pastor was not a physical cause of the tort.

	HaNerot Hallalu: Rambam's Approach to Nerot Hanukkah - Torah.org
		Note that Rambam does not "justify" lighting indoors by associating a different viewing public with that location (the members of the household); he simply follows the words of the Baraita and deems it sufficient to light indoors, even on the table, if it is dangerous to place it in a more public area.
		It might be tempting to read a global dispute into this examples, as follows: Rambam maintains that when the Rabbis formulate a law, even if the clear and stated aim of that law will no longer be achieved through the method they ordained, we are still bound to follow their ruling as they formulated it.
		It seems from Rambam's wording here that the miracle being celebrated is the liberation of the Beit haMikdash and the general defeat of the Greeks with the subsequent restoration of Jewish sovereignty over Eretz Yisra'el.

	Moreh Nevuchim Chapters 51p5
		Rambam now points out that when we are young, our physical urges (he uses slightly different words, but that is what he means) are much stronger, creating an impediment to developing the kind of apprehension to which he refers.
		In fact, Rambam terms this state-- dying in a state of deep apprehension of God, such that death is almost a favor, freeing the soul from the body that chains it-- mitat neshikah.
		Rambam recommends keeping all of these issues in mind as we try to think about God on the occasions which he had earlier mentioned in the chapter.

	"Rambam, P.I. : Fictional gumshoes have nothing on this New York private eye"
		Rambam estimates that Pallorium currently has active cases in five countries and 15 jurisdictions, and that about 30 subcontractors are working for him at the moment.
		Rambam, who says he is a big proponent of the death penalty, has done numerous interviews, including one with a guy Rambam and Schropp believe is the real killer, and another with Soffar's alleged accomplice, who was never arrested or charged.
		Once Rambam ferreted out a South African address on Hilsen, he traveled there, did some observation, confronted him and served him with Illinois court papers (the case has been moved here because Green's U.S. office is in Chicago; that's also why he served Kiss at their show at Tweeter Center on Sept. 26).

	The Rambam, Rabbi Moses Maimonides

		In the Rambam's daily lifestyle, which serves as a living example for us, how we are to help those who need our help, he shows us that it must be done without consideration for the difficulty of the service, to the point of self-sacrifice.
		Similarly, the issuing of postage stamps with the Rambam's name or likeness is likewise a form of honor for the Rambam and will spread the teachings of the Rambam and the improvement of civilization in the world.

	Rambam and the Seasons (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At the end of chapter 13 in point #11 Rambam gave, almost as a footnote or an afterthought, a third method which turns out to be quite accurate and may have been ignored or misunderstood by most of his readers.
		The chart shows that the best accuracy of the Rambam apogee longitude was around Hebrew year 3900 or the 2nd century AD of the Julian Calendar, corresponding to the era of Ptolemy of Alexandria, and indeed his apogee advance rate is the same as that published by Ptolemy in his book known as the Almagest.
		Rambam could not have known that the rotation of Earth is slowing down due to tidal forces, because that wasn't suspected until the Gregorian 19th century and not confirmed until the 20th century.
