The Maimonides Society is committed to be at the forefront of Jewish education, networking, philanthropy and social action for members of the healthcare professions.

The Maimonides Society is named for the great 12th-century Jewish physician and sage, Moses ben Maimon, also known as Rambam. Maimonides' major contribution to Jewish life remains the Mishneh Torah, his code of Jewish law. This code became a standard guide to Jewish practice and served as the model for the Shulchan Aruch, the 16th century code of Jewish law. He also wrote the Guide to the Perplexed, one of the great philosophic statements of Judaism, and the Book of Commandments (Sefer haMitzvot), a compilation of the Torah's 613 commandments. However, the only mitzvah that Maimonides ever refers to in his writings is that of tzedekah.
