Rosh Hashana, Daf 14

Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Michael Pitkowsky looks at Masechet Rosh Hashana Daf 14.

Is consistency a requirement for a religious legal system? Today’s daf addresses this very important question. What are the rules according to which rabbinic law work? Autonomy as a value is central to many modern approaches to Judaism and accept by many modern Jews, even if there is disagreement on how far reaching this autonomy should be. But is this good? How much autonomy can a system tolerate before it ceases to function? Listen and hear what the Talmud has to say about this question.

The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.

This podcast is a collaboration with The Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem.
