More about the book

The analysis delves into Maimonides' innovative reinterpretation of the huqqim, commandments traditionally viewed as lacking reason, and his multi-leveled method of interpreting texts. These approaches significantly influenced Nahmanides, who adapted Maimonides' frameworks to convey contrasting ideas. This exploration reveals a nuanced relationship between Maimonides and Nahmanides, challenging the simplistic view of their opposition as a clash between rationalism and mysticism in medieval Judaism.
