Insight 5774-31: The Ancient Jewish Society

For Emor
Not yet available on the Nishma website.

There are many verses in the Torah that seem to define the kohain as having a judicial function yet there is no specific direction within the Torah that the Kehuna is to have that function. I am now wondering if the mechanics of tovat hana'ah and terumah may have been the that which led the kohanim into such a function.

Insight 5773-32: Balancing Values

For Emor

Study Question

1) When the Torah presents many different solutions to a problem, it also generally indicates which solution applies in what situation. For example, it will inform us, in specific circumstances, if the subjugated value is still existent or not. Of course, as with all matters of Torah, disagreements in this regard may exist but that is still part of the limud haTorah process with the determination of the solution also being part of the process. The issue for me, however, is when the articulation of a solution is not so clear. How are we to determine which Torah principle to apply in a situation where the Torah is not clear about how to balance the values? In one case the Torah does this but in another case the Torah actually does the opposite. Which solution are we then to apply in a case in which the Torah is not clear?
