Program #46 – Ezra’s Ten Rules Part 7- Reach and Legacy
How far reaching were the tiknot (reforms) of Ezra and the Men of the Great
Assembly? I look at the Prushim (Pharisees) as a model for the nation of
Yisrael. I also look at the Hebrew word “Kodesh.”
I further discuss the Men of the Great Assembly and the Beit Din Gadol and
further elaborate on the idea of Ezra as the “Nasi” Head of the Beit Din.
I then look at the book of Shemot (Exodus) in Parsha Yitro where Moshe’
father-in-law Yitro (Jethro) gives Moshe counsel on how to deal with judging
the people.
