Mekhon Mishnat ha-Rambam

Mekhon Mishnat ha-Rambam (מכון משנת הרמב"ם, often abbreviated as Mekhon Mash"h / מכון מש"ה) is an Israeli non-profit association (amuta) and publishing house based in Kiryat Ono. Its central mission is the research, editing, translation and publication of works connected to the teachings of Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, the Rambam) and to the Jewish heritage of Yemen and Sepharad. The institute describes itself as dedicated to "exposing ancient sources that have not yet seen the light," publishing research on Jewish unity, and enriching the Hebrew heritage of the sages of Yemen and Sepharad across the generations — including diwans (poems of Shabazi), prayer books, commentaries on Pirkei Avot, responsa literature, and studies of communal customs. The institute's flagship scholarly project is the edition of Maimonides' Mishneh Torah prepared by Rabbi Yosef Qafih (Kapach) from ancient Yemenite manuscripts, accompanied by his commentary and by a collection of interpretations drawn from more than three hundred commentators, published in 24 volumes. The institute also publishes works by Rabbi Qafih and encourages continued research in his legacy, as well as research in Hebrew law (mishpat ivri), particularly the work of Rabbi Ratzon Arusi on monetary law and the establishment of rabbinical courts for monetary matters. Beyond Maimonides, the institute has issued numerous works of early Sephardic authorities and of Rabbi Saadia Gaon, including The Book of Beliefs and Opinions, his commentary on the Torah, and his commentaries on the Five Megillot, Job, Proverbs, Psalms and Daniel. It has also published such classics as the Kuzari, Duties of the Heart, and Sefer ha-Amitiyot. In addition to print, the institute distributes the teachings of Rabbi Qafih through dozens of audio discs of his lessons on the Guide of the Perplexed, Maimonides' introductions to the Mishnah, the Eight Chapters, and The Book of Beliefs and Opinions, and it publishes a journal, Mesorah le-Yosef, containing articles on Rabbi Qafih's teachings, Yemenite Jewry and Maimonides' thought. It also produces Otzar Mekhon Moshe, a CD containing many of the titles and books it has published. Rabbi Ratzon Arusi, a student of Rabbi Yosef Qafih, serves as president of the association, while Yosef Farhi has chaired its board since 2010 (Hebrew year 5770). The institute is registered as an amuta in Israel and is listed on the Israeli GuideStar and the Israeli Publishers' Association website.

Mekhon Mishnat ha-Rambam (מכון משנת הרמב"ם) is an Israeli non-profit association (amuta) and publishing house dedicated to the study of the teachings of Maimonides (the Rambam) and of Yemenite Jewish heritage. It is based in Kiryat Ono. The institute's work centers on the research and publication of works relating to Maimonides' legal and philosophical writings, as well as on the heritage of the sages of Yemen and Sepharad. A central figure in the institute's history is Rabbi Yosef Qafih (Kapach), described as the leading expert of his generation on Maimonides' teachings. His major scholarly project — the edition of Maimonides' Mishneh Torah based on ancient Yemenite manuscripts, accompanied by his commentary and by interpretations collected from more than three hundred commentators, in 24 volumes — is the institute's flagship publication. The institute also publishes works translated by Rabbi Qafih, who was a prominent translator of Jewish literature written in Judeo-Arabic, and encourages continued research into his legacy. Another important area is the study of Hebrew law (mishpat ivri). The institute engages with the research of Rabbi Ratzon Arusi on monetary law, and Rabbi Arusi encourages the establishment of rabbinical courts for monetary matters so that Torah law may function as a modern, practical legal system. Rabbi Arusi serves as president of the association. The institute has published numerous works of early Sephardic authorities and of Rabbi Saadia Gaon, including The Book of Beliefs and Opinions, his commentary on the Torah, and his commentaries on the Five Megillot, Job, Proverbs, Psalms and Daniel. It has also issued such classics as the Kuzari, Duties of the Heart, and Sefer ha-Amitiyot. In addition, it publishes ancient books that had not previously appeared in print, such as Me'or ha-Afelah, Midrash ha-Bi'ur, and ancient commentaries on the Five Megillot. In recent years the institute has also focused on disseminating Rabbi Qafih's teachings through audio media, issuing dozens of discs containing his lessons on the Guide of the Perplexed, Maimonides' introductions to the Mishnah, the Eight Chapters, and The Book of Beliefs and Opinions. It publishes a journal, Mesorah le-Yosef, with articles on Rabbi Qafih's teachings, Yemenite Jewry and Maimonides' thought, and produces Otzar Mekhon Moshe, a CD containing many of its published titles. Yosef Farhi has chaired the association's board since 2010 (Hebrew year 5770).
