Herem

He doesn't want to come to a din Torah, or he did an avera.

Cherem is a curse.

The Gemara said cherem is otziyus ramach, a curse that should seep into the ramach of a man.

He should die.

So, so according to some Rishonim, it's a safek de'oraisa, so he's not allowed to wear tefillin.

Safek de'oraisa de'lachumra that he should not wear tefillin, not safek de'oraisa de'lachumra he should wear tefillin.

So the, so some Acharonim have this pilpul, but the Cherem deRabbeinu Gershom is a cherem, so maybe the dinim of cherem are de'oraisa.

That's very difficult.

The reason for his mission was that the Baal Shem Tov had seen that there was a large gathering of Greater Rabbanim who had come together in Brody to speak about the Baal Shem Tov and his Talmidim.

Reports were being shared that they were bringing new customs which didn't fit with Shulchan Aruch, the Code of Jewish Law, and all the men there were making a decision to place the Baal Shem Tov and his Talmidim in Cheirem excommunication.

There was one thing preventing them from carrying out this idea, that they needed the consent of the Rav of Lvov, the Holy Reb Chaim Makoyan Rappaport, who was a member of the Council of Four Lands, and under whose authority Brody fell.

They therefore sent word to Lvov, asking the Rav to come to Brody, The Rav made his way from Lvov, which is also known as Lemberg, and wherever he passed along the way, he was received with great honor.

But Rashi right next to us says, Shamta.

Should put him into Cherem.

I'd rather you tell me I'm going into Cherem than get bit by a scorpion.

But that was the soup du jour.

That was the phrase of the day.

Rashi doesn't mean Shanto.

It means you put him in Cheirem.

You said this over not in my name, put him in Cheirem.

So Rav Sheshet says in Gemara, Ma Nafch Li Mi Na.

What does he care so much? What does he care so much if, uh, Rav Idi said it in, in his name or not? D'amar Rav Yehuda, I'll tell you why.

some things he can't agree with.

[laughs] But that was the problem, that's why they, they actually put the Rambam in Cherem.

Why some rabbis burnt his books.

Mm.
