When the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds disagree, why does the Babylonian Talmud generally prevail if the air of the Land of Israel is said to make one wise?

This Torah study examines the question: When the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds disagree, why does the Babylonian Talmud generally prevail if the air of the Land of Israel is said to make one wise? The canonical Hebrew discussion develops the issue through the weekly Torah portion and the sources cited there, preserving the distinctions, tensions and practical implications that belong to the source itself. This localized layer is designed for study and discovery; it does not add a new halakhic, medical, legal, historical or empirical ruling beyond the canonical Hebrew source.
