And You Shall Do According to What They Instruct You
Question
Where is the boundary of this command in practical Jewish law?
Who was it said about?
A lot of times when I ask a question about Jewish law, people remind me of this verse, but that’s like handing over your mind to someone else when it isn’t clear who gave him the authority to issue rulings.
Answer
No other person. It was said about the Sanhedrin.
