In this episode, we look more carefully at some of the key evidence the Beis Din had about Spinoza. What can we learn from the type of evidence about the details of the Cherem? Were the statements attributed to Spinoza ones that one would say casually?

We also start looking at the intellectual background of the times, and where Spinoza's ideas originated from.
