Sanhedrin 46: From the Executed to the Mourners

from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

More on the issue of putting only one condemned person to death on one day, with discussion over whether the same violation and the same kind of execution (but more than one perpetrators) - would that still require a new day for each case? Also, a new mishnah! On how the body of the person who was executed would be hanged. Including how the body cannot be left hanging overnight. The concern is desecration to the body, but also that the broadcasting of sinning is an offense to God, perhaps. Note that leaving the body overnight violates a negative commandment. Plus, the body cannot be buried in the family's ancestral plots. Plus, recognizing the universal mourning of those who lose their relatives. Also, the question of whether eulogies are for the departed or for the mourners, with the example of Abraham and Sarah.
