Regarding Maimonides
Question
Is the claim correct that 98% of his rulings are למעשה a summary of the Talmudic rulings that were approved by the Sanhedrin?
I would appreciate an explanation
Answer
I think it would have been enough to send the question once. Sending it about 80 times is still a bit too much.
I don’t know. Maimonides does generally stick to the Talmud, and this has nothing to do with approval by the Sanhedrin, which did not exist in the period of the Amoraim.
Sorry, Your Honor. It really was done in good faith, and afterward I didn’t know how to delete it.
The problem with the site is that it doesn’t give any indication that the submission went through. I thought maybe there was an internet problem, so I clicked again and again.
Thanks for the response
