Episode Synopsis


Rambam - Hilchot Beit Habechirah 7:14b
The Laws of God's Chosen House
HOUSING IN HOLINESS - Different Kind of Real Estate Rules

The previous rules and regulations were designed to effectively preserve the honour and awe due Jerusalem, host city of the Beit HaMikdash or ease observance of Ritual Purity to better facilitate Temple-centric Mitzvot.

The subject covered include the no binding finality of and property sales, the exclusion of otherwise Condemned Homes, non-aggression against even heinous Municipal Mutiny, and the non-participation in drawing attention to an Unsolved Murder in the hope and finding the perpetrator!
