[Avodah] karet

[Shlomo Pick]

Zev said: In the case of someone who has been executed we don't even need
that reasoning;

what would karet *mean* to someone who is already dead?

His question is correct according to Rashi, but according to the Ramabam
theoretically one could get karet and mitat beit din, for karet means being
cutting from klal yisrael in the next world also, which is not the case of
mitat beit din.

I reiterate theoretically for I agree that if he got mitat beis din then
there would be no karet.  However, that's assuming that with his mitat beit
din as well as the makkot that zev mentioned, he did teshva and vidui. What
would happen if he did not do teshuva with his mitat beit din. Or in a case
of kanna'im poge'im bo, where he did not have a chance to do teshuva, is the
karet then still viable according to maimnonides.  With Divine punishment we
see that there is mitah and karet and in Korach and his eidah. Is the same
for the earthly court?

Shabbat shalom

Shlomo
