Dvar Halacha On Parshat Balak 06 31 2015-5775

The Halacha states that when Bais Din judges cases that may result in the death penalty, they must start and finish during the daylight hours. The source is in this week’s Parsha. Upon killing the Yidden who did avodah zarah, the Torah commands that the punishment is meted out “in front of the sun.” Chaza”l learn from here that such judgements must be limited to the day.
