Rambam, also known as Maimonides, was a prominent Jewish philosopher, scholar, and physician born in 1135 in Córdoba, Spain. His full name is Moses ben Maimon. He is best known for his works on Jewish law and ethics, particularly the "Mishneh Torah," which systematically organizes Jewish law, and "Guide for the Perplexed," which addresses the relationship between philosophy and religion. Rambam's influence extends beyond Jewish thought; he contributed to the fields of medicine and philosophy during the Middle Ages. His writings have had a lasting impact on Jewish scholarship and continue to be studied and revered in both religious and academic contexts.
