Talk:Corporal punishment (Judaism)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
what are the jewish views and opinions on corporal punishment?
[edit] Name change
I think we should change this articles name to corporal and capital punishment (Judaism), because corporal punishement does not include capital punishment (at least I think), so the new title would be more accurate.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 10:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I have inserted what I believe to be a more accurate translation of the phrase in the Mishnah.66.108.4.183 20:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)Allen Roth
[edit] Lack of Content
I'm reading this page and I find it severly lacking. I see no description of how to properly drug the executee, nor a full description of how any of these carried out. A casual reader could interpet "Serefah - burning" as what was done in Salem, as opposed to how we do it, having one witness start choking the executee and the other pouring hot molten down the executee's throat. Also more detail should be applied such as listing the 18, 10, 2, and 6 crimes to recieve Sekila, Serefah, Hereg, Chenek respectively. 217.132.56.235 23:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] From the article
Somebody left this behind in comment tags:
- having your head chopped off is less serious than stoning?
I would certainly say so. Severance of the carotid arteries will lead to rapid loss of blood pressure over the cerebral hemispheres and incapacity to feel pain. Stoning, in contrast, involved being thrown in a pit, followed by being pelted with rocks. The latter is obviously more unpleasant. Guillotin was right. JFW | T@lk 20:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
