Rav Shmuel related that whenever the Rambam would sign a leAer, he would conclude with the following words: “The writer, who, every day, transgresses three prohibiFons.” However, numerous Acharonim quesFon whether the Rambam could have wriAen such a self- incriminaFng statement. Whether we say that the prohibiEon was directed to a specific generaEon, or under specific circumstances, it would seem that living in Mitzrayim was permiUed at that Eme, and Yaakov Avinu indeed kept the enEre Torah, even while living in Mitzrayim. We can suggest that Radvaz is relying on other leniency of some Rishonim, who explain that the reason for the prohibiEon is to protect us from the negaEve influences of the corrupt, EgypEan values. One is in parshas Sho3im, where the Torah limits the number of horses a king may own, to minimize the possibility of our returning to Mitzrayim, which was the primary supplier of horses. 1 Indeed, Rabbeinu Eshtori Haparchi, a fi)eenth century Rishon, relates in his sefer, Ka5or Vaferach (chapter #5), that he met a descendant of the Rambam, Rav Shmuel, in Mitzrayim. However, the issur no longer applies today, because Sancheriv caused a great upheaval among the naEons, uprooEng the inhabitants of many countries and supplanEng them elsewhere. Yet the Gemara tells us clearly (Kiddushin 82) that Avrohom Avinu fulfilled all the mitzvos, and many meforshim assume that this applies to the other Avos, as well. Parshas Beshalach In this week’s parsha, Hashem promises Bnei Yisroel that a6er krias yam suf, they will never see the Mitzri’yim again. InteresEngly, we know that the Rambam himself lived for many years in Mitzrayim!1 The Radvaz explains that the Rambam certainly did not disregard his own ruling. The Radvaz conEnues by jusEfying the period when he, too, lived in Mitzrayim, by poinEng out that his presence was needed to teach Torah and establish a Yeshiva.
