<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What is the traditional understanding of the Sanhedrin/finalization of psak history/process? Is it that Sanhedrin continually functioned from the time of Moshe Rabbeinu on and was the final arbiter of all issues but chose which to decide and which to leave local? For example machshirei milah on shabbat or chicken and milk - assumedly there was awareness of differing local practice yet the issue was not aiui immediately resolved. Is this similar to different patterns of shofar that were allowed then unified (seems a stretch)? Any thoughts appreciated on or off line,</FONT></P>
