What happens if three different people who ate alone in three different rooms want to later come together to make one group recitation of the Grace After Meals?
In this first lesson in a series on the origins of Jewish beliefs, Rabbi Miller focusses on the unique contribution of Maimonides (1135-1204 CE) as a codifier of Jewish belief. How did Maimonides go about compiling the Thirteen Principles of Faith. What were his sources? Were his findings universally accepted?
How the mitzvah of building a sukkah is performed in three epochs of history: before the giving of the Torah, after the giving of the Torah and after Moshiach comes.
Great video by a righteous rabbi. Rabbi Altein and his wife, Chani, run Chabad of Pittsburgh with its Sabbath and Holiday Learners' Minyans and other programs to help Pittsburgh Jews like me learn about relating to G-d. I'm going to watch this more than once to enhance my understanding, and recommend it to people who might be interested. I love the title, too. Hey Rabbi Altein, I knew you appreciated evolution! :) Speaking of biology / zoology, the Rabbi calls Leviathan a fish, but I thought it was a mamal; indeed, in modern Hebrew, the word means "whale." Has the meaning changed since Biblical times?

Gratitude
As a Gentile, the Holy Spirit has definitively been guiding me to revere and study all Hebraic influences. Thank you Yisroel Altein for your teachings which help me get closer to our Father and His commandments and wisdom that have been given to the Jewish people for centuries...
