Moses ben-Maimon, commonly known as Maimonides, was a distinguished Jewish philosopher of medieval times. In addition to being an eminent philosopher, he was also regarded as one of the greatest Torah scholars and physicians of his era. He is often referred to by the acronym Rambam. Maimonides was greatly admired for his contributions to Jewish law and ethics. His impressive writings earned him widespread respect not only among Jews but also in communities across Spain, Iraq, and Yemen. Maimonides served as the esteemed leader of the Jewish community in Egypt. His monumental 14-volume work, Mishneh Torah, remains a canonical authority on the codification of Talmudic law to this day. In the Jewish Yeshiva world, he is revered as haNesher haGadol ("the Great Eagle"), a title that acknowledges his unparalleled status as a leading interpreter of the Oral Torah. After his passing, Maimonides was recognized as one of the most influential rabbinical arbiters and philosophers in Jewish history.
