Rambam on Hilchot Tefila - on Shabbat afternoons, 35 minutes prior to Mincha. We are now studying the laws of prayer according to Maimonides' Code of Jewish Law, known as the Mishneh Torah. Texts in clear vocalized Hebrew are distributed to the participants. We study the writings from the perspectives of halakhic practice, Jewish historical development, and the quest for personal spirituality.
