After the dramatic Revelation with the Ten Dibrot on Har Sinai, we now move on to the practical examples of the “headlines” heard at Har Sinai. This shiur focuses on the rule about not cursing leaders ("Elohim" used along with "nasi"). Why is there a law specifically saying not to curse leaders (or God), and why is the term "Elohim" used here? We look at some different perspectives, aided by an examination of the appearance of “Elohim” meaning “leaders” or "judges" in different biblical contexts.
