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 the Gemara describes the process of stoning a person. The person is pushed off a structure by one of the witnesses that convicted him. If he doesn't die from the fall, the second witness throws a heavy stone off the structure.  The body is hanged for a moment and then buried right away.
