Hillula of the Moses Maimonides" Rambam" in Montreal 2013,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu7WITHc3mc Maimonides's full name was Moses ben Maimon; in Hebrew he is known by the acronym of Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, Rambam. He was born in Spain shortly before the fanatical Muslim Almohades came to power there. To avoid persecution by the Muslim sect — which was wont to offer Jews and Christians the choice of conversion to Islam or death — Maimonides fled with his family, first to Morocco, later to Israel, and finally to Egypt. He apparently hoped to continue his studies for several years more, but when his brother David, a jewelry merchant, perished in the Indian Ocean with much of the family's fortune, he had to begin earning money. He probably started practicing medicine at this time. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Maimonides.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu7WITHc3mc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAW8OfIlYPA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8H7mqMCLHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoqPNEPg5lg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HDA34bS7po https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdi57aEFadc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afxfxBTZ3zQ I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor) |
