In Choshen Mishpat 25 (page 180 in the Machon Yerushalyim edition), the Beit Yosef quotes the Mordechai as saying: "B'tzman hatzeh sh'machrichim et hadayanim lisheiv b'din al pi cherem haqehilot . . . " "In our day we force dayanim to judge in court using community cherems . . . " What does that mean??? Ben
