	Sanhedrin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sanhedrin (Hebrew: סנהדרין; probably from the Greek συνέδριον, synedrion, "assembly") is the name given to the council of seventy-one Jewish sages who constituted the supreme court and legislative body in Judea during the Roman period.
		The Sanhedrin in the post-Temple age concerned itself primarily with codifying the ancient traditions of the Oral Torah; its members were instrumental in the drafting of the Mishna and the Jerusalem Talmud.
		In order that this sanhedrin, reviving the old Sanhedrin of Jerusalem, might be vested with the same sacred character as that time-honored institution, it was to be constituted on a similar pattern: it was to be composed of seventy-one members—two-thirds of them rabbis and one-third laymen.

	The Sanhedrin
		The Great Sanhedrin was the supreme religious body in Palestine during the time of the Holy Temple.
		These Sanhedrins existed until the abolishment of the rabbinic patriarchate in about 425 C.E. The earliest record of a Sanhedrin is by Josephus who wrote of a political Sanhedrin convened by the Romans in 57 B.C.E. Hellenistic sources generally depict the Sanhedrin as a political and judicial council headed by the country’s ruler.
		The Great Sanhedrin dealt with religious and ritualistic Temple matters, criminal matters appertaining to the secular court, proceedings in connection with the discovery of a corpse, trials of adulterous wives, tithes, preparation of Torah Scrolls for the king and the Temple, drawing up the calendar and the solving of difficulties relating to ritual law.

		Sanhedrin (tractate): ("The Sanhedrin"); Deals with the rules of court precedings in the Sanhedrin, the death penalty and other criminal matters.
		Avodah Zarah (tractate): ("Foreign worship"); Deals with the laws of interactions between Jews and Gentiles and/or idolaters (from a Jewish perspective).
		This is probably because these two tractates aren't concerned with individual laws and therefore don't lend themselves to a Gemara style analysis.

		The Sanhedrin, a religious assembly of 71 sages that sat from the time of the Holy Temple through 425 CE, was the highest Jewish legal-judicial tribunal in the Land of Israel.
		Those behind the revival of the Sanhedrin stress that the revival of the legal body is not optional, but mandated by the Torah.
		The Sanhedrin was reestablished through the ordination of a rabbi agreed-upon by the majority of prominent rabbis in Israel and approved as "fitting to serve" by former Chief Sefardi Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and leading Ashkenazi Rabbi Shalom Elyashiv.

		Sanhedrin was the name applied to the higher courts of law which in the later period of the Second Temple administered justice in Palestine according to the Mosaic Law, involving criminal and capital offenses.
		Sanhedrin is also the name of a tractate in the Talmud which fully describes the composition, powers, and functions of the court.
		The Sanhedrin organized in Yavneh following the destruction of the Second Temple was purely religious in character.

		Declining to discuss exactly what issues are on the Sanhedrin's agenda, Richman said that one of the main long-term goals of the Sanhedrin is to reunify Jewish observance in Israel.
		A tradition is recorded in the Talmud (Tractate Megillah 17b, Rashi) that the Sanhedrin will be restored after a partial ingathering of the Jewish exiles, but before Jerusalem is completely rebuilt and restored.

		This commandment applies, that is to say, regarding, the great and small Sanhedrin, and the court of three in the land of Israel; that there, "Smikha" is given, but not outside the land for we don't give "Smikha" status outside the land.
		Nevertheless, whoever received "Smikha" status within the land is fit to judge even outside of it; and this is (the intention of) what they of blessed memory said [tractate Makot 7a] "The existence of a Sanhedrin is applicable for both the land [of Israel] and outside the land".
		Furthermore, the members of Sanhedrin, have to be free of physical blemishes and according to what I have written this is also true for a court that judges fines...

		Tractate Sanhedrin, Part IV, covers chapter seven of the tractate and continues the discussion of judicial procedures in criminal cases.
		It outlines four modes of execution, followed by a fascinating discussion of the seven commandments given to Noah, known as the Noahide commandments.
		In contemporary terms, the Noah-ide code forms the basis for discussions about the existence of "natural law" and whether society can establish a universal standard of morality.

		The WJC’s description of itself is strikingly similar to that of the ancient Sanhedrin.
		According to the Talmudic sources, including the tractate Sanhedrin, the Great Sanhedrin was a court of 71 sages that met on fixed occasions in the Lishkat La-Gazit ("Chamber of the Hewn Stones") in the Jerusalem Temple and that was presided over by two officials (zugot, or "pair"), the nasi and the av bet din.
		It was a religious legislative body "whence the law [Halakha] goes out to all Israel." Politically, it could appoint the king and the high priest, declare war, and expand the territory of Jerusalem and the Temple.

		Sanhedrin 7:5 (my italics) notes that the correct response when one heard a blasphemer pronounce the divine name was for the judges to
		The tractate Sanhedrin in the Mishnah presents a perfect scenario of how the Pharisees would have expected court cases to have been conducted not only in the Great Sanhedrin which sat in Jerusalem but in the lesser sanhedrins which were scattered throughout the nation and which dispensed justice to Israel.
		Finally, Sanhedrin 7:1 states that the Sanhedrin had the power to put to death - but commentators point out that the Jerusalem Talmud explains that the right to inflict capital punishment was taken from Israel forty years prior to the destruction of the Temple.

		Even unwitting murder is murder, though the Almighty shewed mercy by sparing the murderer.
		A heathen is executed on the ruling of one judge, on the testimony of one witness, without a formal warning, on the evidence of a man, but not of a woman, even if he [the witness] be a relation.
		He must be tried by a full Sanhedrin; he cannot be convicted on the testimony of less than two witnesses, and he must have been formally admonished before committing the offence.

		It is needless to say that Jesus detested the Pharisees and their fraudulent traditions of Moses.

		He was a cohen, but is not referred to as such, because the main tikkun (soul correction) in this case had more to do with Nadav and Avihu than their father Aharon HaKohen, according to the Ari.
		They were superior to him in that they were prophets [who were sent by God to relate prophesies to Israel] whereas he was not [sent with a prophesy], and he was superior to them in that he saw [the vision] whereas they did not (Tractate Sanhedrin 93b; see Maharsha).
		The Aramaic translation of the prophets was written by Yonatan ben Uziel, who had heard it [via his teachers (Maharsha, Tractate Megillah 3a)] from Chaggai, Zechariah, and Malachi (ibid.).

		This law is confirmed and elaborated in the Mishnah tractate Sanhedrin: people could be executed either by stoning, burning, decapitation, or strangulation (7.1a-c), but whichever it was, when the crime was blasphemy (6.4h-i) the corpse was then hung on a pole for display, apparently like a slab of meat, which resembled a crucifixion (6.4n-p).
		And as Pilate acquiesced in the case of the standards, he would just as likely acquiesce in the treatment of a condemned corpse, since he would hardly want to irk the fanatical Jews on a daily basis as the law was continually and arrogantly violated in front of them.
		[17] Mishnah, Sanhedrin 7.4a, d; the same sentence is given for "profaning the Sabbath" or "sorcery" (7.4e, i), other crimes that were suggested by Pharisees as possible grounds for accusing Jesus during his ministry, at least as portrayed in the Gospels.

		Source: The Babylonian Talmud, volume 21, Tractate Sanhedrin, Part VII, translated into English by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, copyright 1999 by the Israel Institute for Talmudic Publications; published by Random House in New York.
		The rabbinic commentary in Sanhedrin 43a states that out of deference to the Romans' concern for Jesus' welfare, a pretense of an argument on Christ's behalf had to be mounted by the Sanhedrin because Jesus had "close connections with the non-Jewish authorities who were interested in his acquittal."
		I have quoted from Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 107b, which declares that Jesus bowed down to a brick and worshipped it and that he practiced magic, and from Sanhedrin 43a, which says that it was right to kill Jesus and that he got what he deserved.

		In the Hebrew language the word "Hebrew", ivri, means "one who 'passes' over" as did the patriarch Abraham who "passed over" from being a gentile to becoming a "convert" to the faith of Monotheism.
		In some places in the Talmud the word Israel(ite) refers to somebody who is Jewish but does not necessarily practice Judaism as a religion: "An Israel(ite) even though he has sinned is still an Israel(ite)" (Tractate Sanhedrin 44a).
