This class is about the addition for Rosh Chodesh and Festivals, Ya’aleh veyavo.

I try to answer these questions:

Why do we only say Ya’aleh veyavo on Rosh Chodesh and Festivals, but not on Shabbat or Chanukah or Purim?

Why is there such a long thesaurus of words at the introduction of the prayer?

What is the connection between remembrance and Rosh Chodesh or Festivals?

I spend quite a bit of time going through the Vilna Gaon’s commentary on Ya’aleh veyavo, where he shows the connection between the words of the blessing and the seven heavens.

This week we will discuss various cases of self-defense, capital punishment, and rebellious behavior. THe Gemara explores the concept of rodef (a pursuer), allowing lethal force to stop someone attempting murder or severe harm, and the laws regarding a ben sorer u’moreh (rebellious son), whose extreme disobedience and gluttony are seen as indicators of a dangerous future.

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.

In last week’s shiur we met Dovid for the first time, but we didn’t get to know him much more than his physical description. Tonight we learn the famous story of his fight with Goliat and his passion for Gd and His honor. This story will not only be an introduction to getting to know Dovid but will literally be the paradigm of who he is and what drives him in so many scenes through the sefer.

After seeing the mistakes Shaul made as king we can now have a better understanding of what Hashem is looking for in the next one. In tonight’s shiur we will see the choosing of Dovid and what Hashem highlights about him in the pshat. We will then get to see Shaul meet him for the first time and how their relationship begins to develop.
