We conclude Chapter 11 of Avodah Zarah, exploring more of the law around magic and magic-users, here getting a glimpse into Maimonides' philosophical understanding of supernatural phenomena and their moral danger
Starting Chapter 11, we explore the impact of idolatry on day to day practices – from how to cut your hair, what clothes to wear, and how (and if) one should relate to astrologers, fortune-tellers, and magicians.
Devoted exclusively to Chapter 10 of Hilkhot Avodah Zarah, this week we dive into the laws regarding Jewish sovereignty and its implications for our relationships with idolaters living in the Land of Israel. Both compelling and challenging, these laws help clarify how we are meant to see ourselves as well as others.
In the remainder of Chapter 9 of Avodah Zarah, we explore more fascinating commercial interactions between Jews, idolaters and apostate Jews and learn the ways in which financial instruments are used to navigate the borders between them in space and time
We begin Chapter 9 of Avodah Zarah, focussing on the question of intimacy with idolaters in the realm of time – how long before their festivals do you have to stop doing business with them? Can a Jew accept a Christmas present?
We conclude Chapter 8 with a look at our relationship with idolaters and idolatry, but in particular, with idols themselves
We begin Chapter 8, continuing out theme of the benefit we can (and cannot derive) from idolatry, here focussed particularly on the relationship with the natural world (mountains, trees, and religious sites)
We conclude Chapter 7 and its discussions of benefits from idolatry with some interesting (and unlikely!) cases
We continue the quest to understand Avodah Zarah - beginning the topic of gaining benefit from idolatrous worship
We discuss the laws of Molech (and the offering of children thereto) and the issues around prostration, particularly upon stone
We continue the discussion of the Mesit (proselytiser) and begin to look at the issues of Ov and Yidoni in Chapter 6 (Sorcery)
We continue the discussion of proselytism with the Mésit (missionary) and the consequences for the Musat (the one converted by a proselytiser)
Concluding the laws of the Ir haNidahat (the condemned city) and beginning to look at the law of missionaries and proselytism (haMésit)
We begin our exploration of Chapter 4 and the laws of Ir haNidachat (the Condemned City), a fascinating test case in rabbinic jurisprudence
Concluding Chapter 3, we investigate the laws of representational art and its relation to idolatry
Blasphemy!
Introducing the core concepts behind a halakhic idea of idolatry
We continue the history of idolatry and begin to introduce the key concepts and ideal behind the laws of Avodah Zarah
We conclude the laws of Torah Study and begin Rambam's aetiology of idolatry in the laws of Avodah Zarah
