| | Halakha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Judaism has always held that gentiles are obliged only to follow the seven Noahide Laws; these are laws that the oral law derives from the covenant God made with Noah after the flood, which apply to all descendants of Noah (all living people). | | | The view held by Conservative Judaism (and to some extent within the left wing of Orthodoxy) is that while God is real for theological reasons, the Torah is not the word of God in a literal sense. | | | Broadly, the Halakha comprises the practical application of the commandments (each one known as a mitzvah) in the Torah, as developed in subsequent rabbinic literature; see The Mitzvot and Jewish Law. |

| | JERUSALEM SYNDROME: a playground of messianic delusions.....: halakha is your friend |
| | Because halakha has been written by human beings who lived in cultural contexts, historical times and places, and they had their own hurts and angers and whatever else, and sometimes all of these things affected what was written. | | | And halakha is something that's highly, highly filtered--over literally thousands of years, people have been working to develop this system of connection between the self and the community and the Divine, and that's why it's so smart. | | | Negotiating a rigorous spiritual practice when there are a million tugs in every direction is not, and part of the work to negotiate that is vital to the spiritual process. |

| | Toward New Jewish Practice - Toward a New Halakha? The Shalom Center |
| | Halakha is a stultifying system of rules that almost inevitably squash spiritual growth. | | | No matter whatever other areas of halakha we may dismiss, we must continue to embrace rabbinic halakha about the personal status of Jews, so as to be able to hold the Jewish people together as a unity of diverse streams. | | | All communities, even those that call themselves "secular," need to live by some agreed "halakha." Jewish communities should do this in some living dialogue with the Jewish past, and Jewish-renewal communities need to do it in dialogue with God as well as the Jewish past. |

| | Halakha and the Intn'l Dateline |
| | According to him, the Halakha Dateline took into account the unity of the contiguous land mass Israel is a part of; it is not the 90 degrees that is critical but the end of the land mass at Jerusalem's latitude. | | | As the rabbi explains to the king, Israel is the center of the "inhabited" hemisphere, there being a quarter of the earth or six hours to its east and a quarter of the earth or six hours to its west. | | | Northeastern China, Korea, eastern Siberia and Australia would not be in the "divergence zone" notwithstanding the fact that the Halakha Dateline passes through them or west of them; they are part of a land mass that extends west of the Dateline and are thus incorporated into the Israel timeframe. |

| | Velveteen Rabbi: Braided halakha |
| | Judaism is meant to be lived in the world, not in seclusion, and navigating the tension between worldly priorities and religious priorities is an important part of the path.(This comes from her first post on the subject, halakha is your friend. | | | Negotiating a rigorous spiritual practice when there are a million tugs in every direction is not, and part of the work to negotiate that is vital to the spiritual process." No argument from me on that. | | | One needn't "understand" halakha in order to follow it, and following can have meaningful results -- plus it's a uniquely Jewish way of sanctifying the ordinary and serving God in all things. |

| | Clarity in Jewish Thought |
| | It is clear from what the Rambam writes that the traditional view of the role of the Land of Israel to the practice of the Jewish religion is fundamental. | | | The Sages said: The transgressions of one who dwells in Eretz Yisrael are forgiven, as it says: The inhabitant shall not say, 'I am sick.' The people who dwell there shall be forgiven for their transgressions. | | | It is the system of law that gives definition to habitation in the Land and as a consequence, meaning to the Land. |

| | But for some reason, when it comes to the topic of “homosexuality,” some pretend as if our sexual values are completely congruent with those of the rabbis on all points except this one, and that this one point is in no way connected to any other aspects of sexuality with which we might disagree. | | | And, by extension, rabbis should not marry couples who they know will not keep this law, such people should not be accepted into the rabbinate, etc. Of course, this is merely a reductio ad absurdum and should not be taken seriously. | | | Indeed, even if we did argue convincingly that the Bible meant only to proscribe certain kinds of male same-sex relations, this would not affect halakha since the rabbis of the talmudic period have already interpreted the Bible in a specific way. |

| | Midrash halakha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Midrash halakha was the ancient rabbinic Jewish method of verifying the traditionally received laws by identifying their sources in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and by interpreting these passages as proofs of the law's authenticity. | | | The early Halakha sought only to define the compass and scope of individual laws, asking under what circumstances of practical life a given rule was to be applied and what would be its consequences. |
