As the Ramban articulates, the ritual of the Sotah is entirely unique to the Torah, for it is the only ritual that relies not on fact but on a miracle from God. In this week's episode we consider why this unique magical ritual exists, and what role it served in the context of a marriage. We also discuss the disparity in its treatment of the husband and wife, and why this disparity led to its being discontinued.
