The Animated Maimonides

A children's film about Maimonides, produced by the Hidabroot channel with the Destiny Foundation.

In the digital age, the character of Maimonides continues to maintain its larger than life complexity: a doctor, a philosopher of world influence, a Jewish reformer and a halakhic authority - any given application or website about the Rambam can choose to focus a different aspect of his character.

YouTube hosts an hour-long animated film based on an illustrated children's book, "The Rambam: The Story of Rabbeinu Moshe Ben Maimon" was authored by R. B. Avrech and illustrated by Ludia Solop and Svetlana Pakarovski. It seeks to make Maimonides accessible to children through the story of his life, including a focus on the tragic death of his brother, David, and the ramifications of this disaster on his life.
