<![CDATA[<p><strong>Rabbi David Fried</strong> explores how a responsum of the <strong>Rambam</strong> (<em>Shu"T HaRambam</em>, <em>Mechon Yerushalayim Edition</em>, No. 104) sheds light on ambiguities and seeming contradictions in his magnum opus, the Mishneh Torah. He demonstrates how reading the "original" responsum can possibly settle a debate between <strong>Rav Moshe Feinstein </strong>(<em>Igros Moshe</em>, Y.D. 2:7) and <strong>Rav Aharon Kotler</strong> (<em>Mishnas Rebbi Aharon </em>35:6) - which has implications for the entire enterprise of Brisker methodology.</p>
