this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good morning everyone who's having a good time yay okay you know a lot of people are wondering why the people in the front of the bus keep calling me by the first my first name and why they have preferential treatment and other some people ask because we call you by your first name I don't mind you can call me my first name but who are these people calling me by my first name and then other people want to know why I'm calling the people behind me Daddy and Mommy now these are two very big Mysteries but putting the two questions together in the same context I'm giving you a few Clues maybe they'll help you understand this mystery okay yesterday somebody asked me did I speak about the barbinal yet no I didn't speak about that but we're gonna speak about him uh right now um just by way of introduction about one of the great works of that bar vanilla is called Amana roshamana is a commentary on the rambam's yudgy malikram and the Barbarella asks a stunning question on the rambam the apartment asks the rambam seems to have omitted the most important principle of Jewish faith which is not included in the yogimle ikram and that is creation X nihilo that Hashem created the world this is conspicuously absent from the rambam icker number one animation nothing about nothing about creation X nilo Echo number three is and why does the rambam not mention creation yes and to compound the question is the rambam in fact did include briah in I know what you're thinking you're thinking it's part of icker number one so I've already spoke to my boy Ray no says that barber now it's icker number four anime who re-shine that the almighty was first The Eternity of Hashem says reshine or as the ramam says in his actamain that emphasizes that Hashem is first in relation to everything else that exists nothing else in existence is builti kadman is nothing in existence is not of Prior existence compared to him everything else was created by a pre-existing creator what's amazing is how perfectly the abanel arrived at the true meaning of the words of the rambam because many centuries after that in our times a original manuscript of the rambams was discovered in this manuscript we we have a haga we have a textual amendation with the handwriting of the rambam himself and at the side of the fourth icker the rambam writes in his handwriting Veda kiyos yes that included in icar number four is the concept of brias and in the new critical editions of the parish hamisha the rambam reviews 1965. it confirms that the barbaranel was spot on in his interpretation of the rambam in the yoga malikram I've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
