Summary
On today’s pages, Chullin 10 and 11, the rabbis grapple with the deceptively simple instruction to follow the majority. The discussion turns on a subtle but powerful distinction between situations we can actually count and situations where we merely assume the majority is probably correct. The daf presents a vision of communal decision-making that values consensus while still leaving room for uncertainty and caution, themes that sit at the heart of modern fights over democracy and judicial power, including the subject of our upcoming Tablet Studios miniseries on Israel’s battle over judicial reform. Can a society survive if it loses faith in how decisions get made? Listen and find out.
