Maimonides: Cure of Souls
David Weiss
Description
Although many speak of their soul, few understand what the soul is. What are the characteristics of the soul? What are diseases of the soul? How can we cure our souls? The great Jewish philosopher, Maimonides, believed that “the improvement of moral qualities is brought about by the healing of the soul and its activities.” This course explores the ideas of Maimonides in Shemoneh Perakim, The Eight Chapters. Exploring these essential insights will enlighten your understanding of the soul and deepen your Jewish journey.
