Rov


Rov is a Talmudic concept which means the majority.
It is based on the passage in Exodus 23;2: "after the majority to wrest", which in Rabbinic interpretation means, that you shall accept things as the majority.
The most original practice of that term is by a Sanhedrin meeting, where the opinion of the majority is the final law.
The term applies also to accidental mixtures of Kosher and non-Kosher ingredients, when the non-kosher can be nullified be the majority of the kosher.
