[Avodah] Kategor and Sanegor

[Micha Berger]

Someone asked me on the way into work this morning...

Kategoros and sanegoros are Greek terms. And in fact, we don't have
lawyers in beis din. (In the adversarial/advoacate sense of the word,
although to'anim do serve as representatives.)

So why is the metaphor used on Yamim Noraim taken from the Roman judicial
system -- arkaos?

Tir'u baTov!
