Rosh Hashanah 31a Part 6/8

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Corresponding to the Shechina's ten journeys in the first Beis HaMikdash, the Sanhedrin of the second went into ten exiles, known from a Gemara and not from pesukim. The Sanhedrin, the seat of Torah, stands in the place of the Shechina. The Sanhedrin moved from Lishkas HaGazis through Yavne, Usha and Tzippurah down to Tveria, the lowest of them all. A dissenting view counts only six steps from a pasuk, and from that low point the geulah will come.

Key points

• A commentary matches the Shechina's six months in the midbar to Asara B'Teves through Shiva Asar B'Tammuz.
• The Gemara says the Sanhedrin left Lishkas HaGazis willingly, to stop judging dinei nefashos.
• As the Gemara brings it, hisnaari me'afar addresses Klal Yisrael, not Yerushalayim.
