Teetering on the Edge: Shimon ben Shetach and the 80 Witches of Ashkelon
We examine two apparently unrelated Aggadatot about the early Tanna Shimon ben Shetach and the tumultuous period of the Hasmonean dynasty, raising profound questions about competing values when justice systems are pushed to the breaking point.
