Abstract:
The question of the authority of rabbinic decrees and regulations is a point ofcontroversy between Maimonides and Ramban. Maimonides ruled that one whoviolates the "decrees and regulations and conducts" violates the obligation to heedthe words of the sages and is liable for punishment in the context of the laws ofrebellion. This position conflicts with that of Ramban, who asserted that the law ofrebellion does not apply to decrees and regulations because they are not explicitlyderived from the Torah. However an analysis of Maimonides' Commentary on theMishna reveals that the position presented there is closer to that of Rambanaccording to which decrees and regulations are commandments of the "seconddegree" and one who violates them transgresses the prohibition of "do not turnaside." The article suggests that while the Commentary on the Mishna was writtenby Maimonides in his youth, when he followed a conservative and accepted path,later on he took a more novel and unique direction, granting greater authority tothe sages so that one who transgresses the prohibition of "do not turn aside" alsofalls under the rubric of the biblical prohibition of rebellion
