Sanhedrin 87 - Purim - March 14, 14 Adar

Today's daf is sponsored by Devorah & Binyamin Radomsky on the occasion of the Bat Mitzva of their daughter Tamar.  Today's daf is sponsored by Daphne Lazar Price "Excited to meet fellow Daf learners at the upcoming JOFA conference in NYC!" The verse describing a rebellious elder in Devarim 17:8 is extrapolated in a braita, explaining what types of cases could lead to a rebellious elder situation, as well as other related issues. Three different opinions are presented regarding what categories of disagreements would cause a rebellious elder to incur the death penalty: disagreement about Torah law, disagreement about matters punishable by karet, or about a rabbinic interpretation of Torah law, or even a very minor point of interpretation. How do all the cases in the previous braita align with Rabbi Meir's opinion that a rebellious elder can only be liable in a case that involves a prohibition punishable by karet?
