Sanhedrin 65 - February 20, 22 Shvat

Study Guide Sanhedrin 65 Today's daf is dedicated to the Bibas and Lifschitz families on this difficult day. A baal ov and yidoni are punished by stoning. Baal ov raises the dead and they speak from between the baal ov's armpits. Yidoni. a sorcerer, takes a bone from an animal called yadua and puts it in their mouth and it speaks. Why are baal ov and yidoni mentioned in this Mishna as receiving the punishment of stoning, but in the Mishna in Keritot only baal ov is mentioned for being obligated to bring a sin offering? Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish offer two different answers. Their opinions are analyzed in the Gemara - why doesn't each hold by the other? What is considered an action? Generally one is only obligated for actions, according to the rabbis. How much of an action is needed to obligate one? Is moving one's lips an action? Bowing to an idol? Rabbi Akiva obligates even without an action - but does he include any non-action? Or does he have some minimal criteria? What are the differences between the different types of witchcraft/magic mentioned in the Torah?
