Rabbi Saadia Gaon’s sefer Emunot V’Deot (Book of Beliefs and Opinions) innovated the genre of Jewish philosophy. Long before Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam, R. Saadia paved the road for viewing Jewish principles through a lens of classic Greek philosophy, the science of his time, and is justifiably where Jewish philosophy begins. Join ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rabbi Daniel Korobkin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as he explores this important, monumental work, tracing the differences in approach between R. Saadia and those who came after him.

Now that Dovid is living with the Plishtim, Shaul is no longer willing to chase after him. But a major war is brewing from the Plishtim against the Jews. The last few prakim of Shmuel alef will “ping pong” the perspectives and situations of Dovid and Shaul and how the war will change both of their lives.

This week, we will learn the concept of a vain oath and what a person would be liable for. The 4th chapter deals with an oath made by someone who may have information that can help a litigant in court. We will learn who can be made to swear and by whom, and if they lie, they are liable to bring a sacrifice.

This week we will continue to learn the various categories of oaths (shevuot), distinguishing between oaths regarding past or future actions and exploring liability for violating them, even unintentionally. The Gemara examines the interplay between oaths and other prohibitions, such as korbanot and mitzvot, and how an oath cannot override a pre-existing Torah obligation.

We will jump back into the lives of Dovid and Shaul. We will learn about their next encounter where again Shaul will be chasing to kill Dovid but Dovid will have the upper hand and again choose the “high road” to prove his loyalty to Shaul. But it will be a breaking point for Dovid of how long he can keep repeating this cycle and come out unscathed….

Join Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Brovender for a special Yom Yerushalayim shiur. From a personal perspective and based on current events, where does the Jewish People’s relationship with Jerusalem stand?

This week, we will explore key halakhic discussions related to tumah (impurity) and the Temple. The Gemara delves into the laws of entry to the Azarah (Temple courtyard) while in a state of impurity, the distinctions between various kinds of tumah, and the obligations for korbanot (offerings) brought for transgressions, especially those involving uncertainty (safek). It also analyzes comparisons between impurity and other prohibitions, discusses when awareness of impurity is significant, and introduces foundational principles for determining liability in cases of doubt.
