Rabbinic Authority and Personal Autonomy in Early Rabbinic Law (1/3) with Dr. Ayelet Hoffmann Libson

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Halakhic History" This course examines how an individual’s knowledge of their body and psyche impacts halakhah, a fact that demonstrates the tension between that knowledge and rabbinic expertise and authority. The various topics to be considered include a sick person eating on Yom Kippur, the law of Niddah and the application of the mais alai claim within divorce law.
