DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
This course, for those already familiar with the basics of rabbinic literature (what is the Mishnah? the Talmud?), will examine Tractate Sanhedrin of the Mishnah and Talmud as it describes the ancient Jewish court system—its procedures, assumptions, and values. What can we learn from this idealized vision of justice? What critiques might it imply concerning the system of justice that we take for granted?=0D=0A=
