Opinion and Comment
"Shilton Hama'aseh": The Teachings of the Rambam

by Yated Ne'eman Staff

Part II

The first part discussed the basic principle as found in the Rambam that action is primary. Even though the Rambam is known for his achievements in philosophy, and has a reputation as a supreme rationalist, his actual writing is replete with statements about the important of keeping the deeds demanded by the Torah, even if they cannot be understood by reason. The primacy of actions in Judaism must remain today the keynote to the life of the Jew.
