Ethics in Rambam’s Mishneh Torah

Scholars have noticed that Maimonides places great importance on the last halakhot of each of the 14 books in his great legal code, Mishneh Torah. These passages stress ethics and Maimonides’ universal outlook. We will study these texts in Hebrew and English, and discuss what applications Maimonides’ wisdom has for Jewish life today.
