Jewish Law

Jewish Law, or Halakhah, is a comprehensive legal system derived from the Torah, which is the central reference of the religious Judaic tradition. It encompasses commandments (mitzvot), ethical guidelines, and rituals covering all aspects of life, from religious practices to interpersonal relationships. Halakhah is interpreted by rabbinic authorities, adapting ancient laws to modern contexts. The law aims to guide individuals in living a life aligned with Jewish values, encompassing not just religious observance but also morality, community, and personal conduct. It reflects a dynamic interplay between tradition, interpretation, and everyday life within the Jewish community.
