Is expressing jealousy a mitzvah, and aveirah, or both?February 3, 2025Sponsored in memory of Joe Epstein z’l Yosef Mordechai ben Shmuel HaLevi, by friends of his daughter Miriam Preil. 

Tannaim dispute whether kinui sotah is a mitzvah or reshut. The stamma d'gemara assumes that kinui sotah is either lekhatchilah or assur. Amoraim dispute whether the husband who is mekanei his wife is under the sway of a ruach taharah or rather a ruach tum'ah. How can these positions best be aligned, reconciled, and/or synthesized? How do they relate to rishonim's statements about the purpose of the institution?
