Emunot V'Deot with Rabbi Daniel Korobkin at BAYT
Rabbi Daniel Korobkin of BAYT (Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto) teaches Rabbi Saadia Gaon's sefer Emunot V'Deot, the Book of Beliefs and Opinions. The series explores how this monumental work pioneered the genre of Jewish philosophy, predating Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam. Each episode examines how Rav Saadia interpreted Jewish principles through classic Greek philosophy and the science of his era. Listeners trace the differences in approach between Rav Saadia and the thinkers who followed him, showing why Jewish philosophy properly begins with this work.
