KNOWLEDGEThe Most Beautiful Gift
The Elucidated Series Completed
Know Maimonides?The Rambam needs no introduction. Rabbie Moshe ben Maimon (1138-1204), the greatest arbitrator of Halacha of all times. A leader, a man of science, a physician, a great believer and a pioneer.
Why Should You Know the Mishne Torah?The “Mishne Torah” is a summary of the oral Torah. This masterpiece by Maimonides contains all matters of Jewish law and all Halacha for this time and for the future, from the torah and rabbinical ruling, in addition are some menhagim. This creation which is written in Hebrew was put together in an outstandingly precise order, shaped by short paragraphs containing Halachas suitable for every Jew
The “Mishne Torah” contains 1000 chapters which are divided in to 14 volumes (hence the nickname "HaYad HaHazaka"), it accompanies the learner in his daily cycle until the realization of the great purpose of creation. Learning the book in a complete manner creates a strong foundation for all study of Torah.
What Does the Mishne Torah Project Do?The project was started in order to recreate the exact nusach of the Mishne Torah and to make it accessible to the general public using a unique and concise elucidation.
Who Wrote the Elucidation?Maimonides! With great effort we went through Maimonides books and gathered all his sayings (mostly from the Mishne Torah, his commentary on the Mishnah, The Guide for the Perplexed, his letters and his answers) which help understand his method for each Halacha. Thus stands an elucidation on Maimonides according to Maimonides while noting the sources (you can check for yourself!).
In the effort to create this elucidation many teams and experts from various institutes (The Temple Institute, Mishpetei Eretz Institute, Eretz Hemdah, The Institute for Torah and the Land of Israel, the Institute of SH and others), rabbis and scholars from varied Yeshivas, academic experts and others, collaborated to complete this masterpiece.

Our elucidation is for anyone. Much thought has gone into it to make it simple even for a beginner, and yet this small amount speaks volumes, so that even those well-versed in Maimonides writings will discover pearls of wisdom.
Our project was awarded the Jewish culture award, blessings and endorsements from 'Gedolim' of all streams: from Rabbi Ovadia Yosef ZT"L and Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu ZT"L to Chabad rabbis and Breslev rabbis. Rabbis experts in their fields alongside significant educators (see the endorsements list on the website).
The Daily Rambam Study Order By the Sages of IsraelThe sages of Israel called for the study of the Mishne Torah, one chapter every day (a three year learning cycle, 15 minutes per day). We achieved that our complete and unique elucidation broke through to the masses in Israel for the study of the Mishne Torah and understanding of Maimonides clearly in a short and complete manner. Many thousands of students from elementary school thru yeshiva high-schools, universities, and more… studied successfully.
Many also learn at their own pace. We urge you - men and women, as guided by Maimonides - to join the learning and to get to know the entire Torah, and strive to realize the beautiful and complete Jewish vision.
