Maimonides on what a sage / decent human is supposed to do
First of all, thank you, thank you, thank you for your INVALUABLE input on the survey last week. I'm so grateful. Knowing where you're at can help me adjust and try to better meet the needs of as many folks as possible, and that's what this is all about. More on that below.
Today we'll look at how to be a mensch, a decent human being, according to Maimonides, since this trait is in short supply in our culture, especially these days. Whether or not we agree with Maimonides' details– or how we translate his ideas to now– are a different question.
