Q&A: On the Attitude Toward a Convert
On the Attitude Toward a Convert
Question
Hello
I would be happy to receive the article on the attitude toward a convert.
Aren’t there commandments that are in the category of a royal decree, and therefore one should not derive the reason for the verse from our own understanding for the sake of halakhic ruling?
Thank you

On deriving the reason for the verse, see the article on the fifth root from our book on the roots, here:

And something else that is somewhat relevant here regarding a scriptural decree:
