Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
קטן וקטנה - The Evolution of a Category
Is the age of adulthood 12 (for girls) and 13 (for boys) in every realm of halakhah? The answer might surprise you. In rabbinic literature, the age of adulthood originally ranged depending on the issue and the person, but at some stage it was established as a uniform 12 for girls and 13 for boys. This shiur describes this evolution. This shiur is the third in a series on the halakhic classification of חרש.ת שוטה וקטנ.ה.
This shiur is based on an article by Rabbi Dr. Yitzchak Gilat, found here.
