Yisro: Rambam – On Miracles as a Foundation of Belief

Length of the article: 4 pages
Length of the audio: 16 minutes 52 seconds
Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 4-page article I published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 2/1/24, entitled: Yisro: Rambam – On Miracles as a Foundation of Belief. I was asked by several people to clarify the Rambam's view on the different roles played by the pre-Sinai miracles and the Revelation at Sinai. This article reflects my current understanding, and is essentially a walkthrough of the major points in Hilchos Yesodei ha'Torah Chapter 8, which I quote in its entirety.
