What is the “heart of the Beit Din”? And can synagogue furniture be used for a Bat Mitzvah?

Rabbanit Shira Marili Mirvis and Rabbanit Hamutal Shoval discuss a halachic concept about changing the designated use of a donation — in the Gemara, a living animal dedicated as a sacrifice; in our times, donations for sacred use. They explore the ability (or inability) to repurpose such items, what happens when they’re unused, and the principle known as “the heart of the Beit Din.”
