Description

This shiur discusses many fundamental concepts about halachah and Jewish society: Why is the Talmud eternally binding? Why can Amoraim not argue on Tanaim? Why does the krias hatorah experience in the Beis Hamikdash and shul incorporate both spiritual and lay leadership? Why is Judaism so legalistic?
