Avram > As AviraDeArah and DaasYochid both stated, the Rambam makes two statements that appear contradictory, and the halacha does not follow like you.
right, and this is why I enjoy talking with them. I would like to look further and how these stirahs are resolved. There are other Rambams like that (sleeping 8 hours AND learning at night). What I have a problem with is that the Vaad refers to a Rambam, omitting the other one. Nobody asked them about the Rambam. They could have referred to S’A or to R Kotler. As Gemora says in other circumstances: “this is the Torah and this is the reward?!”. Maybe, they saw this post as a polemic piece and thought that the person who asked a question is the type that gets impressed by Rambams. Maybe a webmaster wrote the piece, not the dayanim. And I went to their site specifically looking for a kosher lomdishe place – a business beis din in the most famoous yeshiva. So, maybe this is just a mismatch.
