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.

This week, we will explore the significance of time and dates associated with idolatrous festivals. Due to concerns about strengthening idol worship, business dealings with idolaters before and during their holidays are prohibited. We will also learn of the special relationship Antoninus had with Rebbi. The Gemara also teaches about Unkelous, the famous convert.

Once IshBoshet fell out of Avner’s good graces, he is told he will lose the kingdom. Avner will quickly turn on him to throw his support to Dovid. But will this guarantee Dovid the empire? And how will Dovids supporters take to the idea of letting Avner join them?

This week we will begin Masechet Avoda Zara by discussing the future judgment of the nations of the world, where they attempt to justify themselves before God by claiming to have supported Torah study. Their claims are refuted, revealing that their motivations were self-serving, and the unique value of Torah and mitzvot—especially Shabbat—is emphasized. We will also explore the prohibition of engaging in commerce with idolaters before their festivals and introduce foundational principles for avoiding any support or association with idolatry.

Now that Shaul is dead can Dovid take the throne? Will people support him or did Shaul turn too many people against him believing Dovd was a rebel? And if they won’t accept Dovid, who will be the leader of this shattered nation? We will get to see how all the challenges unfold.

We will delve deeper into shevuat ha’pikadon (oath of collateral), analyzing cases where a person denies receiving a deposit or loan and then falsely swears, including the number of claims and oaths required for liability. The Gemara distinguishes between monetary and non-monetary oaths, examines the role of multiple claimants and defendants, and discusses the precise language needed to create an obligation. The final dapim shift focus to shevuat ha’eidut (oath of witnesses) again, especially in scenarios involving partial admissions, coercion, and complex witness dynamics, all contributing to the broader understanding of when and how oaths carry legal and sacrificial consequences.
