Mishneh Torah (Maimonides' Code). Book of Holiness

In the most extensive of his works, Rambam summarizes and systematizes the Talmudic tradition and presents the entire body of Jewish religious law – halakha – in an accessible form. The essence of holiness, according to Jewish tradition, consists in the separation of the people of Israel from other nations. The fifth book of Mishneh Torah, "Holiness", includes: "Laws of Forbidden Relationships", "Laws of Forbidden Food", and "Laws of Slaughtering Animals", which regulate the interactions of Jews with the nations of the world. Published here fully in Russian for the first time, in an accurate modern translation and with detailed commentaries.
