  1. The Cities of Refuge

    The laws of Go’el HaDam (the blood avenger) do not express the ideal aspiration of the Torah, but rather the Torah's consideration of human need – a need that should ideally not exist, and which the Torah expects to pass from the world. The laws pertaining to a murderer in the context of the Beit Din are eternal.
