Why doesn't the Rambam defend himself with someone like Rav Moshe Isserles challenges him? The Magen Avraham and the Chofetz Chaim agree on so many things; were they best friends or something?
As 6B2 begins their study of relevant topics in halacha this year, such as hilchot brachot, hilchot kibud av v'em, and Shabbat (to name a few), we have begun to contextualize the various sources and de'ot that will guide our learning. Each student researched a posek from the 7 eras of poskei halacha. After creating posters that summarize key facts about their poskim, the students hung each one up as a reference for us on our class timeline of poskei halacha. We have already been able to reference it this week! The Shulchan Aruch (Rav Yosef Karo) and the Mishneh Torah (Rav Moshe ben Maimon) came up as we began to prepare for Yom Kippur!
