Hakhel | Episode 3: Father, Mother or the Court?

This eight-part, in-depth series will explore the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s novel approach to the definition of the mitzvah of Hakhel as it applies to children. The series will also cover several fundamental elements related to the mitzvah of Hakhel, such as the time of Hakhel; the definition of the mitzvah; the role of the King; the need for a bima and more. In this episode we will explore the discussion between the Turei Even, the Makneh and the Rebbe about whether the requirement of bringing the children to Hakhel is a mitzvah incumbent upon the father, the mother or the court.
