Front Description Some 300m/330yds from the north end of HaGalil Street in Tiberias are a number of old tombs, including that of the great philosopher and physician Maimonides (Rabbi Mose Ben Maimon, also known as Rambam after the initial letters of these names). Born in Córdoba in 1135, Maimonides left Spain because of religious persecution, went to Cairo and became Saladin's personal physician. There too he became a rabbi, and later the spiritual head of the Jews in Egypt.
