Date: February 20th, 2025 8:01 PM Author: ...,,..;...,,..,..,...,,,;.., it's about judges not legislators:
In a sharp formulation, the verse states “You should not follow a multitude to do evil” (Exodus 23:2). While some understand this as a general exhortation to everyone not to associate with groups of people who are not behaving appropriately (Rabbeinu Bechaye), most commentators argue that the verse is speaking directly to judges (see, e.g., Rashi).
Despite the fact that all the other judges may decide that someone is either guilty or innocent, if one judge is convinced based on his own well-thought-out process that the others are incorrect, he is obligated to state his dissenting opinion. Even though there may be great group and social pressure to suppress his opinion and let the decision be unanimous, he must state his argument.
The verse concludes “and do not respond to a disagreement by yielding to the majority to prefer [the law],” which also lends itself to a number of possible interpretations by the commentators but seems to reiterate the importance of not perverting justice just to conform to the majority (see HaEmek Davar). Rashi, quoting the Sages, points out that the word riv (disagreement), which should be spelled Reish-Yud-Vet, is spelled in the verse without the middle Yud (just Reish-Vet). This allows for a non-literal reading of the word as Rav, meaning teacher. According to this interpretation, the message is that one should not disagree with one’s teacher when deciding a legal ruling. Yet, because following this idea would suppress a judge’s honest opinion, the rule in the Sanhedrin is that the less experienced judges must give their opinions first, before listening to their teachers or the experts’ decisions. This open leadership style is essential for avoiding groupthink.
