Autonomy in Jewish Law
Question
Aside from your article in Meisharim on autonomy in Jewish law, have you written anything else on this?
I seem to remember hearing you talk about Sukkah and the Ritva in connection with “do not place a stumbling block”—have you written about that?
Answer
See my articles in HaMaayan on whether Jewish law is pluralistic, and on the price of tolerance in matters of opinion. Both are found here..
It seems to me that the Sukkah and Ritva in question were also mentioned in Truth and Certainty.
