4 Min Rambam — 22 Adar - Avodas Kochavim Perek 1. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
We are starting in Rambam Hitchhasavelis Gehavan, and this contains 51 Mitzvets, 49 Mitzvets Laithasa and 2 Mitzvets Laithasa. From the 83 sections of Allah's in the Rambam, this is probably the largest amount of Mitzvets per section. In Parik al-Aluf, the Rambam discusses the background of how Avalis Gehavan started and how Avalis are spread throughout the world. The Rambam begins by saying that in the times of the Maritians' grandson, the people made a big mistake, and they assume that because Hashem meets certain creations big, like the stars and the Gagallim and the Sun and the Moon, etc., that Hashem wants us to serve them and to show them Covenant, so they started serving them and bowing down to them. And then as time went on, it continued and it expanded by people saying that Hashem came to them and told them to serve this particular star in a certain way, and then it extended even further when people would come and say, I'll fake Naveem would come and say that the star itself came to them in a dream or it came to them in a vision and told them to act in a certain way or don't do certain things or do or to treat it in
a certain way. And then it got even further where they would be priests who would set themselves up and start telling people how to serve it and to do certain things and they were an upper class of the Subh-A-Dazara. And this thing spread eventually to the entire world. And it eventually came to the point where no one remembered that Hashem existed at all and women and children only knew the type of shape or figure that they would serve from when they were a child. And even the wise people among them, like their priests, thought in their minds that there are only these stars and these gagalim and that Hashem does not exist. There were only singular people like Khaneikh and Mitsushelah, Khaneikh, Shaman Aver that recognized Hashem and knew about Hashem and actively started about Hashem. And this continued until the pillar of the world of Ramavino was born. Once I have Ramavino was leaned off his mother, he started thinking about things and he started realizing that someone has to be moving these gagalim and causing them to turn it. They don't turn by themselves. He didn't have any teacher, but even as he served at Vait-Dazara with his parents and his family, he still kept on thinking about it and not believing into what he's doing.
And he knew that there is one God that causes everything to happen. When I've Ramavino turned 40 years old, he came to the point where it says he grabbed Ramavino, Ramavino recognized his creator and once he was able to do that, he went to the people of or costume where he lived and he started debating them and answering all the questions that they were asking him about why he wouldn't serve at Vait-Dazara. And he told him to destroy all the slum and destroy all the different various Vait-Dazaras. Eventually he overpowered them intellectually with all of his arguments and the king wanted to kill him and his niece happened and he left the throne. He then went out and called with a great calling to the whole world to let them know that there's only one God for the whole world and to him it's fitting to serve. And he would go around and call people and gather them together from city to city and from kingdom to kingdom until he came to the land of Kanan. And since people started gathering with him and asking him about what he's doing and he would explain to each person based on their level until he returned them to the true path. And tens of thousands of people joined Avram and they're called the house of Avram.
Avram also wrote Svarim and he taught it to son Yitzhak. And he taught it to son Yakhav who became in charge of teaching it to the next generation. Yakhav taught it to all of his children and he separated the lady and appointed him to be the head of the Ashriva to teach the ways of Ashram and to keep the mitsus of Avram. And he commanded his children that from the family of the lady there should always be someone appointed that would be in charge of making sure that the study does not become forgotten. And so keeping in the ways of Ashram continued to increase until he even went to Mithraim and once he didn't where Mithraim, as time went on, it almost got completely destroyed again with only the people of Lavi following in the ways of Ashram completely not serving Avay Desar and there was never someone from Lavi who served Avay Desar. And from Hashem's love to us and his promise to Avram Avinu, he made Mishra Avinu the master of all of the Naveem and he sent him to us. And once Mishra Avinu became an Avin, Ashram chose Yidin, he crowned them with mitsus and he told them the way how to serve him and what the rules would be for those who serve Avay Desar.
