peace
I finished reading your book "Truth and Unstable" this Shavuot holiday, may your strength be exalted.
I remembered your criticism of Menachem Navet's book on the Repentance, which tried to base his thoughts on the teachings of the Rambam, and you noted that the practice of yeshiva students to base all their words on the Rambam is not necessary and sometimes forced.
At the end of your book, you wrote that the words of the Rambam in the Law of the Foundations of the Torah (58) regarding belief in a prophet based on miracles should be explained in your opinion, as one must distinguish between truth and certainty. It seems to me that it has not escaped your attention that the Rambam thought that all of his words were true and stable, and that anyone who does not think like him is mistaken at best. For example, I will cite his words in the Mo'N (1 Lo, from the Responsa project) which, in my opinion, contradict the words of the Radbaz (Responsa 4:15) known for their lack of reason, and the late Rambam there: And know that when you believe in fulfillment or in matters of rain, that you are jealous and angry and provoke fire and heat, and hate and enemy and oppressor, it is much more difficult than the worshipers of the Law. And if it occurs to you that the one who believes in fulfillment has an excuse for being too much about it or for his foolishness and shortsightedness, then it is appropriate for you to believe in the worshipers of idolatry that he will only worship foolishness or because he was too much about it in the custom of his ancestors. In his hands. And if you say that the simple ones of the Scriptures will cast doubt on this, you will know that the worshiper of idolatry has indeed brought him to its worship incomplete imaginations and images. There is no excuse, then, for anyone who does not accept from the verifiers who examine it if he is short of the study. I will not consider a heretic who does not bring a model for the removal of fulfillments, but I will consider a heretic who does not believe in its removal, and all the more so according to the decree of Pi Onkelus and the commentary of Jonathan, peace be upon him, they remove from fulfillment everything that made it possible.
And now for a general matter. You commented at the beginning of the book that you were told that in Quartet you attacked analyticity but did not present a synthetic subtext, and in the book "True and Unstable" you expound on synthetic methodology, but I was surprised to see that you only briefly addressed the essence of syntheticity in my opinion, which is how to find the alpha and beta parameters, that is, how to develop the 'discovery context.'
The methods for developing auditory reasoning are not related to methodology but are similar to the methods that make one 'see' the type of solution to a differential equation. Also, if we try to diagnose people who had auditory reasoning, we will notice that they were not the ones with great methodologies but rather had a phenomenal intuitive sense.
In my opinion, the method for developing this ability is to live in the atmosphere of the field in which we are interested in developing our auditory sense. In the case of mathematics, this means rubbing shoulders with professors, solving exercises, etc., and thus living in the mathematical milieu. In the case of Torah, the method, in my opinion, is to return to primary sources such as the Bible in its entirety, to live a 'halachic life' close to the way our ancestors lived: in the Land of Israel, without excessive severity and calmly, from a general view of the Torah (not just laws that pertain to this time), to make a decent living, and so on, and then to enter the world of Kabbalah, which is the living spirit behind the methods.
The thirteen virtues required by the Torah are an expression of general eloquent logic compared to the Stoic Greek logic, but there is a secret eloquent logic that is given in Kabbalah – as Rabbi Hanazir wrote in the first section of his book The Voice of Prophecy.
Developing a methodology for the context of discovery is, in my opinion, akin to providing a more in-depth definition of gradation by scope instead of developing the skills required for definition by content.

Hello. I haven't heard from Mr. for a while, and I hope he and his family are well, and that he is on his way to becoming the Chief of Staff in Gaza. 1. It is indeed true, Maimonides thought that most of his words were true and stable, and in this I disagree with him. And yet not everything he thought was so in his eyes. After all, he writes to Hadiya that two witnesses are not absolute evidence (which is simple, of course, since there are also conspirators) and they should be trusted. I do not see how your words here contradict what I saw in his words. 2. Like all formalism, it comes after intuition. And it is still not true that it has no value. Formalism helps where intuition cannot succeed on its own. Giving meaning to the alpha and beta parameters is an intuitive process, but formalism can greatly assist it. There is no point in talking about intuition and its development, not because there is no such thing, but because I have nothing to say about it. Formalism is the objective dimension that can be talked about, even when dealing with the context of discovery. What you called developing skills for the synthetic, such as living in one atmosphere or another, is a matter for morality books, and I have no business with the occult. And in the language of your parable, the novelty in my words is that there is a formal objective dimension also in the context of discovery. I did not say that this dimension is everything, and perhaps not even that it is the main thing. I am not familiar with the Shema logic of Kabbalah, and I do not understand what it is about. But in any case, here I deviate from the path of the hermit rabbi (also with regard to the logic of virtues, I do not agree with his statement that he is a unique Jew). All the best, Michi —————————————————————————————— Asks: Peace and blessings, Life and peace are with us, and the Chief of Staff is on the horizon, according to what has been happening recently in the army 🙂 I hope you are well, may God give you the strength to continue to teach us wisdom. By the way, I'm still serving at X, so if there's a regular class I can attend at Bar-Ilan or in the area, I'd love to know. In your previous answer, you transferred what I wrote about a lifestyle according to a method that will lead to intuitive understanding to the department of moral books, which you are not involved with. And you wrote in your book Sha'a and K.F. that the reason a conservative wrote (Rafa'b Mahalchot Memariam)) that we accepted that we should not disagree with what is written in the Talmud is that they had an intuitive understanding and that in any case there is a connection between virtues or lifestyle and period and opinions!? Therefore, in my opinion, it is appropriate to try to trace their actions and not try to build logical crutches for ourselves instead of intuitive understanding. If you still hold on to your point, I would love to know how you would interpret the words of the Maimonides in his introduction to the MoN that there is such a type of knowledge that is hidden and appears like lightning and the difference between the anshem is in the frequency of the illumination. After all, someone who knows mathematics or metaphysics knows them even if they wake him up in the middle of the night. What type of knowledge is hidden and revealed and what does it depend on? In my opinion, the answer is simple and comes close to the Maimonides' words that there are errors that were prevented from Moses because he was in a body. —————————————————————————————— Rabbi: It is clear that there are explanations that appear and disappear, and yet they are also handled with logical tools. After we discovered the explanation that benefited from the Old Testament without a blessing as if from above, from here on out we handle it with logical tools. Both for drawing conclusions and for searching for sources on which it is based. I see no difficulty in this. —————————————————————————————— Asks: What kind of information do you think disappears and is revealed? —————————————————————————————— Rabbi: Explanations, by their very nature, can depend on different states of enlightenment. But explanations operate within a logical framework, as mentioned.
