Halakha

The Halacha [- χa ː ] (Hebrew הלכה; German: " go ", " walk ") is the name of the legal part of the tradition of Judaism, in contrast to the Aggadah.

In these legal interpretations of the written canon of the Torah, the different opinions of the rabbis, sages and scholars reflect. They aim to rules of conduct that apply to the entire life of believers. Historically, the halacha is part of the Talmud. It belongs to the so-called oral tradition, which was held both in Jerusalem and in Babylon since the time after the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile.

" The Halakhah consists of several components. Some are sinajitischen, some are rabbinic origin. The obligation of a halachic statement depends on several criteria. Of crucial importance is the detection of a long tradition and the appeal to a recognized authority. Under certain circumstances, a custom ( minhag ), if it contradicts a certain halacha, replace it. "

Distinction in de - Oraita and de - Rabbanan

A basic distinction in Jewish legal philosophy is the distinction of laws, rules and regulations ( Halachot and Taqqanot ) into those that are directly divine origin and the others arise from the later discussion of the articles by rabbis and jurists. This means de - oraitam, ( Aramaic: דְאוֹרָיְתָא, Hebrew שֶׁל הַתּוֹרָה ) from the Torah and de - rabbaban ( Aramaic: דְרַבָּנָן, Hebrew שֶׁל רַבּוֹתֵינוּ ) by the rabbis. The distinction is often not easy because under de - Oraita not only in the Torah written fixed rules are counted, but also those who are using the interpretation ( Midrash, Hebrew מִדְרָשׁ ) can be obtained from the text, and the oral tradition attributed to laws of Moses at Sinai (Hebrew הֲלָכָה לְמֹשֶׁה מִסִּינַי - halacha le- Moshe mi - Sinai ).
