The Heavenly Court - Beit Din Shel Maalah

Angels

The Judgment on Rosh haShanah

The Heavenly court agreed with the enactments of the human court in three areas: creating the reading of Megilat Esther, instituting use of Gd's Name in greeting other people, and removal of the Levites' exclusive right to Maaser Rishon: Makkot 23b

Mondays and Thursdays as days of judgment both above and below, and therefore somewhat of a threat to people's health: Shabbat 129b
If a person who is liable for Divine Ex-communication repents, the Heavenly Court forgives him: Makkot 13b-14a
The Heavenly Court awaits the calendar verdict of the human court, in determining the annual day of Judgment for the world: Rosh HaShanah 8b
