Maimonidean Judaism is the line of halakha and thought that runs through Sa’adia Gaon, the Geonim of Babylonia, Rambam (Maimonides), his son Abraham, the Yemenite tradition, and the great Sephardic codifiers. It emphasizes reason, evidence, and accommodation over inherited stricture and superstition.
The posts gathered here ask what it means to live by halakha now, by that lineage. Some are programmatic; some are corrective. Most argue with the way Orthodox Judaism is currently practiced and propose a more honest, more livable, more textually grounded alternative.
I am not interested in branding a new denomination. I am interested in serving Hashem with an ever-growing awareness of truth and Torah, as Rambam himself taught.
