Moses Maimonides
1135-1204

For many, Maimonides, the 12th century Jewish physician, philosopher and Torah scholar, personifies the Jewish Renaissance man. His concern for the welfare of others, belief in the importance of every Jew giving tzedakah, and his compassion as a healer embody the values and goals of the Maimonides Society.

Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon, known in Hebrew literature as the RAMBAM and in western cultures as Moses Maimonides, is unquestionably one of the outstanding figures in Jewish history. His Mishneh Torah, which contains what has become Judaism's standard listing of the 613 biblical commandments, has substantially influenced the course of all subsequent Jewish scholarship. His involvement and leadership in both the Jewish and secular communities is an example for others to follow.
