Halakha

Halakha is the collective body of Jewish religious laws derived from the Torah, Talmud, and later rabbinic interpretations. It governs various aspects of daily life, including ethics, rituals, and community behavior. Halakha covers not only religious practices, like prayer and dietary laws (kashrut), but also civil matters, such as marriage and business ethics. It serves as a guide for observant Jews, helping them navigate moral and spiritual decisions while fostering a sense of communal identity and continuity within Judaism. Halakha is dynamic, adapting to contemporary issues while rooted in tradition.
