Mishnah Torah

Book •

The Mishneh Torah is a comprehensive code of Jewish law written by Maimonides (Rambam) in the 12th century.

It covers a wide range of topics, including Jewish theology, ethics, ritual practices, and civil law.

Maimonides aimed to create a clear and accessible summary of Jewish law that would be useful for both scholars and laypeople.

The Mishneh Torah is divided into fourteen books, each dealing with a specific area of Jewish law.

The code is known for its systematic organization, clear language, and rational approach to Jewish law.
