He is not as clearcut about women learning as is popularly thought.

You always come from a different angle than me so yes it will be interesting to see where we end up. <BR/><BR/>I do have to work though one day on the Elu ve'elu business.

I did not think to look up the halacha in Sotah - good catch - but I can't imagine taking k'pshuto the statement that there is no psak in hashkafa when the Rambam himself formulated the 13 ikkarim for the purpose of creating a halachic standard for acceptable theology. So what do you do with this line in the Peirush haMishnayos? I haven't posted an answer yet either - let's see if our approaches will match!Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21749731.post-78650435907006003372007-07-20T16:39:00.000-04:002007-07-20T16:39:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21749731.post-87993907602887571212007-07-20T15:52:00.000-04:002007-07-20T15:52:00.000-04:00It is sad that many, fancying themselves to be rat...It is sad that many, fancying themselves to be rationalists, use this Rambam as a support for their "philosophical" speculations.
