[Avodah] Zilusa DeVei DIna

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi]

Do we really relegate justice in order to preserve the honour and prestige
of the Beis Din?

And where does this authority come from?

Kesuvos 26b - The first tanna, Rabbi Eliezer, holds: Once BD downgraded him
from the priesthood, we do not reinstate him because that will lead to the
BD being degraded - it looks as though the court does not know what it is
doing. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel holds: We downgrade him from the
priesthood and we then elevate him, and as for the possibility that it will
lead to contempt for the court, we are not concerned about it. The primary
concern is that the matter be determined based on the relevant testimonies.


Best,

Meir G. Rabi
