Discovering the Past: A Retrospective on Hilchos Kidush Hachodesh in the Rambam Through Rabbi Losh’s Video Shiur

Learning Kidush Hachodesh the Traditional Way: Before the Age of Technology

In the Rambam, students are currently studying Hilchos Kidush Hachodesh. As part of this study, we would like to share a video from Tishrei 5748 featuring a shiur given by R’ Yosef Losh. This video offers a unique perspective on how these concepts were taught in the past using simple diagrams and globes.

It is worth noting that this video was recorded before the availability of technologically advanced shiurim for Kidush Hachodesh that we have today. Therefore, it provides an invaluable resource for those who want to gain a deeper understanding of the topic.

The video was filmed by R’ Sholom Ber Goldstein on 18 Tishrei 5748. In the shiur, Rabbi Losh discusses the Rambam’s astronomy and begins with an English introduction before switching to Hebrew after a few minutes. The video has been released by JEM and is now available for viewing.
