Halacha (Hebrew: הלכה, lit. "the way" or "the path") refers to the collective body of Jewish religious laws derived from the Written and Oral Torah. It guides Jewish practice and belief, covering areas such as prayer, dietary laws (kashrut), family matters, and ethical conduct. Halacha is primarily based on the Torah, the Talmud, and subsequent rabbinic interpretations. Over centuries, it has been codified in works such as the Mishneh Torah by Maimonides and the Shulchan Aruch by Joseph Kara. The term is also used to refer to a specific ruling or decision within Jewish law. In Yiddish, it is known as halokhe (הלוכע), and in Ladino, it is referred to as alaha (אלאחה). Halacha is dynamic, as it continues to evolve through scholarly debate and adaptation to contemporary issues.

Halakha
Jewish rabbinical law
Halakha, is the collective body of Jewish religious laws that are derived from the Written and Oral Torah. Halakha is based on biblical commandments (mitzvot), subsequent Talmudic and rabbinic laws, and the customs and traditions which were compiled in the many books such as the Shulchan Aruch or Mishneh Torah. Halakha is often translated as "Jewish law", although a more literal translation might be "the way to go" or "the way of walking". The word is derived from the root ה–ל–כ, which refers to concepts related to "to go", "to walk". Halakha not only guides religious practices and beliefs; it also guides numerous aspects of day-to-day life.
