Of course, we've all had recourse to the answer "It's a Din." But if the rishonim can talk about the logic of "ka'asher zamam velo ka'asher assa," you can talk about the logic of chiyuv minui above and beyond the means of preserving social order.<br /><br />Since you didn't, I suggest that minui is ma'amid aretz, as reflected in the Bracha of Hashiva Shofteinu, and the more dayanim, the more firm our grip on Eretz Yisrael and the closer our relationship with Hashem. The Medrash here in 5:6, I think, says that the Ribono shel Olam loves Din and loves Klal Yisrael, so He gave us dayanim and dinim. If you have a Lekach Tov, he brings this Medrash and an interesting discussion from, I think, Reb Chatzkel, but I don't remember which Chatzel.Eliezer Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036989084122930226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-68623001638739491472009-08-20T11:44:09.199-04:002009-08-20T11:44:09.199-04:00Agree with your point.

Managing our own justice system makes a statement that we value a just society as part of our avodas Hashem. One need only read the latest news about the crimes of "rabbis" to see the results of this lesson being lost.Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-68192686748504760722009-08-20T11:03:26.733-04:002009-08-20T11:03:26.733-04:00Dayanim in Eretz Yisrael are also a reflection of ...Dayanim in Eretz Yisrael are also a reflection of Qiddush Hashem, inasmuch as the establishment of justice in the land is one of the loftiest ideals of the Torah and Neviim and represents one of the zechuyot based upon which we inherited Eretz Yisrael. So the very minuy of proper dayanim, even outside of their function, demonstrates our values and priorities.Rabbi Joshua Maroofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585369620887846940noreply@blogger.com
