The Lower Sanhedrin

This chamber housed the Lower Sanhedrin, which was a Rabbinical Court of 23 judges located at the entrance to the WomenÕs Court. The members of the Sanhedrin would sit in a semi-circle so that all members could see each other. The head of the Sanhedrin sat in the middle. (Source: Sanhedrin 11:2).
