Matan: One on One Parsha PodcastEpisode 231 - Parshat Shoftim: Rabbinic Right and LeftIn this nuanced and probing conversation with Matan faculty member Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash, we discuss the breadth and limitations of rabbinic authority. This conversation is an outgrowth of the instruction in our parsha not to deviate from the rulings of judges in Devarim 17:10-11, understood by our sages in the midrash halacha as a prooftext for their authority of interpretation.

Our Devarim series highlights important rabbinic principles derived from these parshiyot.
