Din & Daf: Conceptual Analysis of Halakha Through Case Study with Dr. Elana Stein Hain
Shevuot 42b discusses the law of מודה במקצת - a defendant who admits to part of the plaintiff’s claim who must take an oath in order to avoid paying the rest of the claim. What is the logic behind this, especially given the supposed honesty of the defendant? Shouldn’t we be more lenient towards the defendant because of their honesty? What does this teach us about partial admissions - the trust they build and the suspicion they arouse?
