re: Q of RambaM's basis ua-cam.com/video/PzLMRKRFvQs/v-deo.html for requiring belief that Moshe was the greatest prophet. I would guess that it is due to his belief that Torah = Toras Moshe and it won't change. Thus if there was a possibility of some future prophet have a "clearer view" than Moshe then it would (logically) allow the possibility that Torah could change. Likewise, if Toras Moshe wasn't the highest degree then it would imply some possibility of flaw in it (and thus not Toras Emes). Thus - Moshe Emes u'Toraso Emes - one flows from the other
Another fantastic podcast episode! Keep ‘em coming 😀
