“I love how this little nugget gets trotted out every now and again when it’s completely irrelevant to today’s professional world.
The ways in which we do business (which includes holding a job) are much different today than they were in the Rambam’s time. There are very few jobs available for people to work only three hours a day and those jobs are generally not the type at which you can make a living doing that and nothing else.”
How dare you talk aboutthe Rambam that way! Everything the Rambam writes is 100% valid today. If he says that a ben torah or whatever the exact wording is only works 3 ours then thats the way a ben torah does it. If you want to disqualify yourself as a ben torah or whatever term he uses then go ahead and work more ours.
