halakha
Halakha is the collective body of Jewish religious laws derived from the Torah, Talmud, and other texts. It encompasses a wide range of legal, ethical, and ritual guidelines that govern the daily lives of observant Jews. Halakha addresses various aspects of life, including dietary laws, prayer, and family purity.
The interpretation and application of Halakha can vary among different Jewish communities, such as Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism. Scholars and rabbis play a crucial role in interpreting these laws, ensuring they remain relevant to contemporary life while maintaining their traditional roots.
