58. "He Said, She Said": A Tale of Two Teshuvos - Feat. Dr. Elana Stein Hain
In this episode, Dr. Elana Stein Hain examines a unique pair of responsa by the Rambam (no. 160-161, Mechon Yerushalayim Ed.), which present a harrowing marital dispute from two opposing perspectives - one from the wife's point of view and the other from the husband's. By analyzing these two teshuvos, Dr. Stein Hain gets to the deeper meaning of the place for legal workarounds (ha'aramos) and how they actually help by maintaining the integrity of the halachic system.
Dr. Elana Stein Hain is author of Circumventing the Law: Rabbinic Perspectives on Loopholes and Legal Integrity (30% discount: use PENN-ESHAIN30 at checkout) and host of the bi-weekly podcast TEXTing, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary relevance. She gives a weekly online shiur on halakhic concepts called Din and Daf and serves as Rosh Beit Midrash at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. She and her family are privileged to spend this year living in Israel.
