In his monumental medieval work, Moreh Nevukhim (Guide for the Perplexed), the Rambam lays out his project to explain the principles of Ma’aseh Bereshit and Ma’aseh Merkavah. These terms describe the nature of our physical world and the metaphysical realm, respectively, and one should utilize Scripture, the Oral tradition, and science to arrive at the truths of these principles. Join Rabbi Daniel Korobkin for half-hour installments of this classic Jewish work.
