The Great Sanhedrin is a comprehensive study of the Bet Din Ha-Gadol, also known as the Great Sanhedrin, during the Second Jewish Commonwealth. Written by Sidney Benjamin Hoenig, the book explores the origins, development, composition, and functions of this important Jewish institution. The Great Sanhedrin was the highest court of justice in ancient Israel, and it played a significant role in shaping Jewish law and culture during the Second Temple period. Hoenig's book examines the historical context of the Great Sanhedrin, as well as its role in interpreting the Torah and enforcing Jewish law. He also explores the composition of the Great Sanhedrin, including its membership, leadership, and decision-making processes.
