Today’s Talmud page, Bava Batra 35, introduces us to a concept called shudda de'dayanei, or judicial discretion, allowing judges to exercise their authority in difficult and contentious cases. Sivan Rahav Meir, host of the Sivan Says podcast and one of Israel's leading journalists and Torah teachers, joins us to discuss great power, great responsibility, and how to use both well. What did the celebrated Israeli Supreme Court justice do every morning before hearing difficult cases? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
