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.

Shaul concerns and fears are now overtaking him and he can no longer hold them in. He is taking more of a stance with his servants of “if you’re not with me, you’re against me” which motivates Doeg to tell Shaul where he last saw Dovid. Tonight we will see the ramifications of that incident and how far Shaul is willing to go to kill Dovid.

Masechet Shvuot begins with an unusual feature: it doesn’t open with a direct definition of “shevuot” (oaths), but instead with a statement that lists different legal categories that the tractate will cover, including tumah (impurity), bi’at mikdash (entering the Temple in a state of impurity), yediot hatumah (knowledge of impurity), and various types of oaths (shevuot). The Mishna explains that some of these cases involve two that are actually four—referring to the idea that the Torah mentions two, and the Rabbis derive an additional two.

After Shaul tries to ambush Dovid outside his home and Dovid is able to escape, Dovid still has doubts if he is guilty of any crimes. He runs to Yonatan and together they came up with a plan. In tonight’s shiur we will see the actualization of that plan and what Dovid will have to do when he learns how Shaul truly feels about him.

This week we will focus on the laws of malkot (lashes), detailing when a person receives lashes, how many, and for which transgressions. It explains how lashes are administered, the physical requirements of the transgressor, and how this punishment serves as atonement—cleansing the sinner spiritually. The chapter ends with a powerful and uplifting aggadic passage where Rabbi Akiva and other sages see a fox emerging from the ruins of the Temple, and while the others weep, Rabbi Akiva laughs—expressing hope and faith that just as the prophecies of destruction were fulfilled, so too will the prophecies of redemption.

Join Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Brovender for a special Yom HaAtzmaut shiur as he reflects on where the Jewish People and the State of Israel are holding 77 years after declaring independence.

This week we will explore the laws of ir miklat (cities of refuge), discussing who is eligible to flee there, how long they stay, and the symbolic role of the Kohen Gadol’s death in ending their exile. We will then begin the third chapter of Masechet Makot and learn who gets the punishment of lashes and why.
