Description

Three mini-shoftim. Why is Ivtzan linked with Boaz? Why does the Talmud portray Ivtzan/Boaz in such a bad light? And why the emphasis on the number of children of the mini-Shoftim - these, as well as Yair HaGiladi? The Rabbi Rotenberg article mentioned at the end is available at https://web.archive.org/web/20131019002857/http://orot.ac.il/publications/shmaatin/177/176-6.pdf.
