| May 12, 2020 at 18:09 | comment | added | Tamir Evan | I have found a link to the quote that works better for me. The quote is from A. S. Halkin's edition of Joseph ben Judah ibn Aknin's "התגלות הסודות והופעת המאורות" (Inkishāf al-asrar watuhūr al-anwār, "The Divulgence of Mysteries and the Appearance of Lights"),p. 495 (514 pages from the start). The quote also appears in Yohanan Kapach's "מותר ללמוד תורה מגוי או ללמד אותו תורה"(PDF) | |

| May 12, 2020 at 15:47 | comment | added | Ester Lin | @simyou I agree completely, but I thought it was worth sharing for what it was. The Rosh Yeshiva who told me said it in public, and he is considered among his peers as an iluy with exceptional intellectual integrity so I trust him, though that is only useful for you if you trust me. (I myself asked him immediately after the shiur for the source, and he couldn't recall offhand he just said he saw it in a compilation of Goanic responsa.) In any case, see update. | |

| May 12, 2020 at 7:00 | comment | added | Tamir Evan | "Rav Hai Gaon's response is: Mekabel Emes MeMi SheAmro, take truth where it is found". That is interesting: I was under the impression that Rambam (or his translators) coined that phrase. On the other hand, a footnote to Hebrew Wikipedia's "הקדמות הרמב"ם" suggests his source for that phrase might be in the words of Al-Abbas (Muhammad's uncle, and one of his early supporters). Maybe Rav Hai Gaon got it from him too. | |
