[7] Laws of Foundation of Torah (Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah) #Torah

Does Hashem have a physical form? Exploring this fundamental question is essential for every student of the Torah. In this lesson, Rabbi Lerner explores Rambam’s Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah, focusing on the definitive principle that Hashem is not a body and possesses no corporeal form. Rabbi Lerner breaks down the logical and textual proofs provided by Rambam, explaining why the idea of a physical G-d is a misunderstanding of the Divine nature. By examining verses from the Torah and the prophets, the discussion clarifies why Hashem cannot be confined to any space or dimension. This session also addresses the historical perspectives on these concepts, including the classic commentary of the Ravad, and explains why maintaining a correct understanding of Hashem is not merely a philosophical exercise, but a critical, practical requirement of our service to Hashem.
