#40 - When Halakhah and Ethics Collide, Part 3
from The Twelve Minute Shiur Hosted by Freehof Institute
In our previous installment, we saw how the Rabbis utilized the power of property confiscation (hefker beit din) as a way to repair inequities they perceived in the law of the Torah. In this shiur, we'll look at how that power enabled them to correct some glaring economic imbalances in the institution of marriage as the Torah defines it. In the process, they restructured that institution in a pretty fundamental way. Source sheet available at www.freehofinstitute.org/learning
