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.

We will analyze how voluntary menachot vows function, whether multiple obligations can be combined, how wording defines the number of required offerings, and when substituting types or altering quantities invalidates fulfillment. The Gemara carefully distinguishes between essential elements (me’akev), like proper type and minimum measures, and cases where partial or altered performance does not count at all. The Gemara then shifts to the requirement of min hamuvchar, detailing the hierarchy of quality for flour, wine, and especially olive oil, including the different pressings, and which are fit for the Menorah versus menachot.

We will learn the entire 7th chapter of Masechet Menachot. We will learn which menachot are eaten by the Cohanim and which are completely burned on the altar. The Gemara teaches how the oil is added to the mincha and how the mincha is broken up into smaller pieces.  The 8th chapter begins by describing the Korban Todah and its 40 loaves, 10 of which are chametz and 30 are matza.

This week we will continue learning about the Korban HaOmer. The Gemara teaches how it was harvested and processed. We will learn that the Omer permits new grain to be eaten and the 2 loaves of Shavuot permit the new grain to be used in the Temple.

On Pesach, the blessing on matzah is “ha-motsi lechem min ha-arets” because matzah is our bread on Pesach. But for the rest of the year matzah resembles a cracker, which should call for the blessing “borei minei mezonot.” Join ⁠Rabbi Dovid Fink⁠ as he surveys the opinions and disagreements among the posekim regarding the blessing for matzah for the rest of the year.

A few months after Rabbi David Sedley and his wife got married, someone put a sign up in his yeshiva selling for 10 shekels the haggadah collection entitled ‘Osef Haggadot Shel Pesach,’ containing seven different haggadot.

Thirty three years later, wine stained and marked by matza crumbs, he’s used it at every seder since, particularly enjoying the second Haggadah in the collection, Migdal Eder, which itself is a compilation of ideas from 125 other books.
