Beth din information


A beth din (Hebrew: בית דין, romanized: Bet Din, lit. 'house of judgment', [bet ˈdin], Ashkenazic: beis din, plural: batei din) is a rabbinical court of Judaism.[1] In ancient times, it was the building block of the legal system. Today, it is invested with legal powers in a number of religious matters (din Torah, "matter of litigation", plural dinei Torah) both in Israel and in Jewish communities in the diaspora, where its judgments hold varying degrees of authority (depending upon the jurisdiction and subject matter) in matters specifically related to Jewish religious life.
