Thank you Rabbi Dwecks for this beautiful reflection. The Rambams works indeed not only saved me from the path of OTD, but so enhanced the Torah that my entire paradigm changed. His Moreh and Mishneh Torah are often overlooked today, though their impact is undeniable.
Thank you Rabbi Dweck and thank you for The Habura. This was very timely for me as I had just been listening to Rabbi Wiederblank's excellent shiur "HaRambam and Mysticism" on The Habura, and his discussion of Rambam's Palace Analogy from Moreh ha-Nevuchim.

Lovely to hear. Hazak ubarukh!

Please explain something.
Maybe I am not understanding.
You said that you recognized Rambam's handwriting.
And that the page turned out to be an excerpt from the Moreh Nevuchim.
But Rambam wrote the Moreh Nevuchim in Arabic; isn't that right?
Yes, Rambam wrote Arabic in Hebrew letters. His handwriting is quite distinctive.
