Everything about Av Beit Din totally explained
Av Beit Din, or
Av Beis Din, or
Av Beth Din (אב בית דין)
Hebrew, literally "Father of the House of Justice". The
Av Beit/Beis Din was the second-highest ranking member of the
Sanhedrin during the
Second Commonwealth period. He presided over the Sanhedrin in the absence of the
Nasi, and was the chief of the Sanhedrin when it sat as a criminal court. He sat with seven other judges while hearing a case.
It is presently being used as an honorific title for the presiding
rabbi of a
beit/beis din (rabbinical court), who is typically the salaried
rabbi of the local Jewish community and not necessarily a renowned
posek ("decisor" of
Jewish law.)
