A Timeless Look at Kidush Hachodesh: A Shiur by R’ Yosef Losh from Tishrei 5748

Rambam learners are currently studying Hilchos Kidush Hachodesh in the Rambam. To gain a deeper understanding of these concepts, we are sharing a video from Tishrei 5748 of a shiur given by R’ Yosef Losh. In this video, R’ Losh uses simple diagrams and globes to explain the concepts of Kidush Hachodesh in a way that is easy to understand.

This video was recorded before the availability of technologically advanced shiurim for Kidush Hachodesh that we have today. It provides a unique look at how these concepts were taught in the past. The video was filmed by R’ Sholom Ber Goldstein on 18 Tishrei 5748 and has been released by JEM.

Rabbi Losh discusses the Rambam’s astronomy in a shiur that starts in English but switches to Hebrew after a few minutes. The video is a valuable resource for those studying this topic and provides insight into how these concepts were understood and taught in the past.
