Mishne Torah

Question

In your reply to Josh on why you exclude the Rambam from the list of works we are required to study, your comments are hard to beliave. That's because of the system of faked halacha that the yeshiva world follows today. Even though you might differ with them on certain issues, you must acknowledge that the system followed by Rabbi Abadi is essentially the same. You put all the rishonim and acharonim above the mishne torah and the talmudic legal system. The only way to follow a system of strict talmudic law is by abiding by the halachoth explained in the mishne torah. Whenever one of these rishonim or acharonim contradicts the mishne torah, you can certainly take the mishne torah as a more reliable source since it is the only conprehensive codification of the entire law and is completely unbiased. The Rambam was responsible for the form, but the content has its sources in the tanakh and the major sources of the Oral Law (Mishna, Bavli, Yerushalmi, Tosephta, Sifra, Sifre, and the Mechilta). Let it be understood that when you quote the Mishne Torah, you are not really quoting the Rambam, but you are quoting Hazal, our Sages.
