Today's Vote
is between two very famous passages: one in the Talmud about who determines the Torah law on earth, and a midrash about God asking for guarantors before giving the Torah to Israel.
Babylonian Talmud Bava Metzia 59b (the story of the oven of akhnai:
Rabbis argue about what can determine the law)
vs.
Song of Songs Rabbah 1:4 (a midrash in which God asks Israel for guarantors
before giving them the Torah)
