Last episode, we interviewed prof. Yair Lorberbaum concerning major hiddushim he introduces in two recent articles of his on the Hakdamah (introduction) and Hilchot Mamrim in the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah. In this episode we summarise his arguments in English and discuss their significance and implications:

* How this limits the extent of the problem of the authority of the Babylonian courts

* Why did the Rambam write the Hakdamah in this way?
