le Grand Sanhédrin
The Grand Sanhedrin was a Jewish high court convened in Europe by Napoleon I to give legal sanction to the principles expressed by an Assembly of Jewish Notables in answer to the twelve questions submitted to it by the government. The name was chosen to imply that the Grand Sanhedrin had the authority of the original Sanhedrin that had been the main legislative and judicial body of the Jewish people during the Second Temple Period in classical antiquity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Sanhedrinתפלת ישירים קריאי העדה אנשי שם סנהדרין | Prière des Membres du Sanhédrin | Prayer for Convening the Grand Sanhedrin in Paris on 1 Adar 5567 (9 February 1807)
