Session 38: Law(lessness) and (Dis)order (Part 4)

In this week's class, we will continue dispelling the myth that the Rama’s Halachic stances are “more stringent” than those of Maran by gathering dozens of examples where the former deviates from Talmudic Law while the latter upholds it, with a special focus on the permissibility of Rabbanim receiving payment for their services. (12/7/2021)

NOTE: Unfortunately, the first few minutes of the class were not able to be retrieved from the memory card. Nonetheless, after a few minutes, the viewer should still be able to make sense of everything discussed in the video. Thank you for your understanding!

This class is part of our newest series “Expanding Horizons: Refreshing Perspectives From Giants of Jewish Thought” at the Shiviti Bet Midrash UK, and is the seventeenth of a series in which we focus on the writings of Rabbi Shemtob Gaguine, utilizing them as a springboard to engage in important conversations which are relevant to our lives as modern, thinking Jews.
