Commentary on Mishneh Torah
Rav Rabinovitch's work Yad Peshutah is a multivolume commentary on Rambam's Mishneh Torah. 21 volumes were published during Rav Rabinovitch's lifetime covering eight of the 14 books of the Mishneh Torah.
Characteristics
- Text of the Mishneh Torah – Yad Peshutah makes use of manuscripts of the Mishneh Torah in order to determine the most accurate version of the text (as opposed to the version of the text used in standard print editions of the Mishneh Torah). In addition to presenting a text which aims to be as close as possible to the original version as written by Rambam himself, at times it can be shown that apparent difficulties in the text are in fact the result of inaccuracies in the standard editions.
