Bestselling author, Rabbi Dr. Moses Maimonides, a.k.a. Rambam, has recently released his long-awaited 14-volume Mishneh Torah, which contains two entire books on the subject of sacrifices: Sefer Avodah and Sefer Korbanos.
“I was really impressed when I saw the great effort the Rambam put into creating these two volumes,” commented Shmerel Sofer, TNS literary critic. “After all, he’s the one who wrote, ‘I believe in the coming of Moshiach with perfect faith.’ And won’t we need sacrifice instruction manuals when the Beis HaMikdash is built?”
TNS has learned that while still living in Spain, Maimonides wrote a commentary to the sections of the Mishnah dealing with sacrifices, which he referred to as a subject “neglected by even the greatest Torah scholars,” yet, these laws were “especially dear to my heart.”
