The second root of Maimonides

שו”תCategory: Meta HalachaThe second root of Maimonides
asked 4 years ago

The Rambam wrote that they should not enumerate the mitzvot that are learned from the three dimensions. The Rambam was partial, and the Rabbi was more detailed in his book.

Do we know of an example where the Ramban enumerated a mitzvah that only taught thirteen measures?

thanks

The fundamental dispute is whether it is from the Torah. Whether listing is a consequence. When you find a mitzvah that the Rambam did not list because of this principle, you can check whether the Rambam did list it. The vast majority of sermons do not renew a mitzvah but add a detail to an existing mitzvah (such as the sanctification of money, or maternal relatives in the case of invalidating testimonies). You can see in his errors regarding the second root his disagreements with the Rambam.

It is possible that you have forgotten the mitzvah of the seventh commandment, remembering the act of Miriam, being careful not to speak evil, which is also a study of the midrash, because in the interpretation of the verses, both in the act of Miriam and in Uzziah, leprosy is a punishment for rebelling against authority.
Act 15, the blessing of the Torah, the interpretation of the verse is that when Moses mentions the name of the Lord, the people will give praise to the place, as explained in Yom 37:1: “It is written, Rabbi says: For I will call on the name of the Lord, blessed be He, and exalted be He.” Moses said to Israel: When I mention the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, you exalted be He.”
Act 11, that we are commanded to offer all the sacrifices that come as a gift or as a duty between the two tamidin, not always before dawn and not always after evening. This mitzvah is taught in the midrash of the verses at the beginning of Parashat Tzu, and it is not the interpretation of the verses.

On the other hand, Maimonides also lists the commandments of prayer, which are also apparently taught in the Midrash.

Why a seminary? And for its employees.

Is the literal meaning of the verse work in prayer or work in sacrifice? The literal meaning of "serve Him with all your heart" is apparently like the Ramban's, "Our work should be with a complete heart."
