RAB 508 Hoshen Mishpat
After a brief survey of the contents and structure of Tur and Shulhan Arukh Hoshen Mishpat, we will focus on the study of selections from the Laws of Judges, the Laws of Neighbors' Damages, and the Laws of the Hiring of Workers in the Shulhan Arukh. Each topic will focus on the broad themes that emerge from the halakhot: judges' responsibility to do justice, how we live in community, and the just treatment of working people. Our appraoch will require us to study relevant talmudic sugyot and relevant passages in the Rambam's Mishneh Torah and the Tur.
