Jewish law (Halakha)

Halakha is the comprehensive legal system guiding Jewish life, encompassing religious rituals, ethics, and daily conduct. Rooted in Torah, Talmud, and rabbinic tradition, it addresses questions of worship, diet, Sabbath observance, interpersonal relationships, and social justice. Halakha evolves through rabbinic interpretation to adapt to changing circumstances while maintaining core principles. It provides a framework for living a life that aligns with Jewish values, fostering community cohesion and spiritual growth. Overall, it functions as both a spiritual guide and a set of practical laws that shape the moral and religious identity of Jewish individuals and communities.
