Abstract

Living an intense life is, without a doubt, the dream cherished by most people. However, according to Chazal (Our Sages), it is necessary to follow certain rules or laws (halachot) recorded in the holy Torah. Maimonides, as a great codifier of Jewish law in the Middle Ages, shows us in his Sefer Hamadah, the path that every Jew must follow to maintain a full, healthy and meaningful life. His teachings are still valid today.
