Description
About Mechon Mamre and Our Work
Mechon Mamre (Hebrew for "the Mamre Institute") is a small group of observant Jewish Torah scholars in Israel who live by the plain and simple meaning of the RaMBaM's Mishneh Torah and actively encourage others to do so. Most of us belong to the mainstream "Baladi" Yemenite Jewish community, continuing the tradition of living by the Mishneh Torah since the very days when the RaMBaM lived, and are students of the Rav Yosef ben-Dawid QaafiH zS"l (the leading rabbinical expert in recent generations on the teachings of the RaMBaM in general and on his Mishneh Torah in particular).
But we have been helped in developing our Written and Oral Torah texts and freeware programs since 1990 by dozens of others from all well-known parts of observant Judaism, including Chasidim and Mitnagdim, Asheknazim and Sepharadim, Europeans and Orientals, both from inside Israel and from all over the diaspora aside from Antarctica (are there no observant Jews in Antarctica who want to help?).
We are currently particularly looking for people to help in adding vowels (niqqud) to the Hebrew texts of Mishneh Torah and the Mishnah, and proofreaders to help us polish the Yerushalmi; we also are in need of a server to provide streaming audio of readings from our texts (it is said that we remember about 20% of what we hear, and about 30% of what we read; but about 50% of what we both hear and read!). If you want to help us in our work, You may also help us by providing financial support for our work.
