Ep. 51: The History of the Sanhedrin (Part One: From Moshe until the Destruction of the Second Te...

The Sanhedrin, the highest halachic authority in the Land comprised of the 71 greatest scholars in the Jewish world, was the Supreme Court of the Jewish Nation. It was founded by Moshe about a year after the Revelation at Sinai and continued almost uninterrupted for 1700 years. This body played an instrumental role in guiding and inspiring the nation, and ensuring the accurate perpetuation of Torah. In Part 1 of the History of the Sanhedrin, we tell the story of this vital institution from its founding until the destruction of the Second Temple in the First Century CE.
This podcast is dedicated in loving memory of Don Levit Z”L, a man of kindness and generosity, and patron of the Levit Family Library at the TORCH Center in Houston, TX.
