This afternoon (10/20/21), in our Rambam Bekius chavurah, we took up the "hot topic" of women learning Torah. We began by reviewing an unrelated side-question: "What's the deal wth the paragraph breaks in the various editions of the Mishneh Torah?" We then read the two halachos in the Rambam about women learning Torah and fathers teaching their daughters Torah, and we analyzed them step by step, drawing upon the Mishneh Torah commentaries of R' Makbili and R' Qafih. We will continue our analysis tomorrow, God willing.

If you're interested in Rabbi Chait's three-part shiur on women learning Torah, email me and I'll send it to you.

Bekius Disclaimer:
Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur. Each session consists of us reading through the Rambam's writings together without much preparation on my part, and without going into depth by consulting commentaries or primary sources. For all these reasons, there are bound to be inaccuracies, errors, and other types of shortcomings which would not be acceptable in a prepared shiur, but are quite typical of a bekius chavurah. Please bear this in mind, and know what you're signing up for when you listen!
