Mishneh Torah

The Mishneh Torah is a comprehensive legal code of Judaism written by the medieval scholar Rabbi Moses Maimonides in the 12th century. It systematically organizes and summarizes Jewish laws and principles found in the Torah and Talmud, making them more accessible. The work covers all aspects of Jewish life, including ethics, festivals, rituals, and civil law. Its purpose is to provide a clear, authoritative guide for practicing Judaism, promoting understanding and observance among Jews. The Mishneh Torah remains highly influential and is considered a key reference in Jewish legal tradition.
