	A MODULAR APPROACH
		Gamliel was extremely upset when he heard that the price for doves, which were necessary for certain sacrifices, had reached a golden dinar.
		Rabbi Gamliel felt that it was very important for the sake of unity to ensure that all members of the Sanhedrin abide by the decision of the majority.
		Gamliel II was knowledgeable in many areas and the Talmud notes that he was an expert in intercalations, medicine, and Greek philosophy (Sanhedrin 11a, Berachos 25a, Sotah 49).

	Cold Fury » I Should Study with Him?
		Rabban Gamliel grew into a learned but arrogant man. He freely employed herem (banning or excommunication) to force other rabbis to submit to his authority and the authority of the Sanhedrin (even placing his brother-in-law, Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus haGadol under a ban), although he was gracious and forgiving to those who did submit.
		Gamliel became depressed, saying ‘Have I kept [words of] Torah from Israel?’ In a dream, he was shown white barrels, filled with ash – but that was not accurate, they only showed him that to restore his spirits (i.e.
		Rabban Gamliel thought that he was doing a great work – using his power and authority to see to it that only worthy men would study Torah, and that frauds and hypocrites would not be allowed to use their studies as a pretext to oppress and deceive others.

		Several of the Mishnaic scholars were versed in Astronomy, such as the "Tannaim" Yehoshua ben Zakkai, the Patriarch Gamliel II and in particular Yehoshua (=Joshua) ben Hananiah.
		Rabbi Gamliel was younger then Rabbi Yehoshua and it has been argued that if he was 20-25 years old, it is doubtful whether he could have had students at the time.
		Still, this is not a strong argument, as Rabbi Gamliel II was also the hereditary Patriarch, and may have had students attached to him formally from the moment he was appointed head of the Sanhedrin.

		On the one hand, there are those oral traditions of Rabbinic exegesis (Midrash) and legal discussion (Mishnah) that eventually began to be written down towards the end of the 2nd Century AD.
		Important figures include Gamliel I, Yohanan ben Zakkai, Gamliel II, Rabbi Akiva, and Rabbi Judah haNasi.
		On the other hand, there is the attempt to accommodate traditional Jewish exegesis of the Jewish Scriptures and tradition with Greek philosophy - a strand of thought of which Philo is the best known proponent.

		Under Theodosius I, his sons, Honorius and Arcadius, and Theodosius II (379 – 428) anti- Jewish legislation continued until the office of the Nasi was abolished in 428, the last being Rabban Gamliel VI although the Sanhedrin continued to exist.

		Foreseeing the terrible consequences of such a situation, Rabban Gamliel Hazaken (the Elder), head of the Sanhedrin at that time (1st Century, CE), enacted a Takana (decree) forbidding cancellation of a Get in the absence of the messenger or the wife.
		Rabban Gamliel II, however, ruled that the cancellation was ineffectual and the Get remained a valid Get, because otherwise the Takana would have no teeth.
		It was aimed, rather, at stamping out the practice amongst certain immigrant communities (notably, those from Yemen.) We may safely assume therefore that those Rabbis felt no need to "arm" their Takana with the sort of teeth that Rabban Gamliel II gave to his ancestor's Takana.

		Yes, the rabbis were reinventing Judaism, so they certainly can’t be called “conservative” in that context, but these rabbis were also building a fence around the Torah at the same time that other groups (including the Jews who eventually became known as Christians) were building new gates to it.
		In that spirit, it is possible to value both the vision and insularity of Gamliel; to appreciate his fearless contribution to reinvent the purpose of the Torah and also to criticize his insistence that the reinvention be frozen in his moment.
		The legend is offered that when he completed a prayer for the health of Rabban Gamliel’s son, who was some distance away, he said with certainty that his fever had lifted and it was later “verified” that the fever had indeed lifted at the exact moment when R’Chanina completed his prayer

		But, I have to say that for all the existence of these powers there are two problems involved.

		I would be interested in hearing about your cases that indicate that such a power has been used more recently, I think this is something we would need before it could be implemented.

		As the leader of the Sanhedrin, the body of judicial and spiritual authority, Rabbi Gamliel tirelessly worked to instill pattern and order in the laws and litugy which would tie together this now dispersed population.
		The rabbinic leadership realized how important uniformity in liturgy would be to a people that had lost not only their spiritual base, but their political and national identity.
		Yet through the laws and rituals introduced under the leadership of Gamliel, our people were to long outlive their Roman oppressors.

		The Jewish church must have found itself torn between the Jewish identity and community and the ever growing Gentile followers of Jesus.
		When they were condemned by Gamliel and the Tannaitic Rabbis (those mentionned in the Mishna, which was redacted c.200), and the consequent social excommunication ("cut off") they may have identified more closely with the large body of non-Jewish believers.
