A batei din is a Jewish court of law that adjudicates matters according to Jewish law (Halacha). These courts handle various issues, including divorce, business disputes, and religious matters. They consist of a panel of judges, typically rabbis, who are knowledgeable in Jewish legal texts. The decisions made by a batei din are binding for those who agree to its jurisdiction. While they primarily serve the Jewish community, their rulings can also influence broader legal contexts, especially in areas where civil law intersects with religious practices.
