Simple question: Who was Bloria the proselytess about whom it is said:

"“Rabbi Yosi taught Bloria the proselytess that this is what is meant by the verse: ‘He does not show favorto persons in judgment and does not accept bribes’ (Devarim 10:17). "

Dov, first, where is this written?

"The difference can also flow from the difference between the sins between Mankind and Heaven and the social sins between people. Regarding the social sins, we find, for example, �One who entrusts hot coals to a minor child, who then goes with them to another�s field and causes a fire, is not liable at the hands of a BetDin, but is guilty and liable before Heaven� (Bava Kama 6:4). There are sufficient similar examples to show that the judgment of Heaven in social crimes is far more stringent than those of human courts and judgments. �Rabbi Yosi taught Bloria the proselytess that this is what is meant by the verse: �He does not show favorto persons in judgment and does not accept bribes� (Devarim 10:17). However, we read in Birkat Khanim (Bamibar 6:26): �Rabbi Yosi taught Bloria the proselytess that this is what is meant by the verse: �He does not show favorto persons in judgment and does not accept bribes� (Devarim 10:17). However, we read in Birkat Khanim (Bamibar 6:26): �The Lord lift up His countenance upon you [favor you]�. This is with regard to sins against Heaven where we find that HaShem is long-suffering and forgiving so that then His judgments are more lenientthat the penalties applied by human courts� (Rosh HaShana 17b)."

How about writing to the author if there's an email address available, or to someone at the website.

Beliora the geyoret is mentioned in Michilta and twice in the Babalonian Talmud.
In the Michilta and in Yebamot (46) she is considered an good example of geyoret and we learn from her some of the laws of conversion and servant master relationships even before she converted. As for her question in Bircat Cohanim, the answer given is different than in other sources.
