	Halacha
		Halacha is considered to be a continuation of the Law of Moses, and has been developed by rabbinical interpretations and supplements over the centuries.
		Halacha is the legal section of the Talmud, where the non-legal part is known as Haggada.
		For centuries, Halacha was not written down, and only passed on orally from one rabbi or scholar to another.

	Purpose of Halacha
		These halachas (laws) are the result of lengthy conversations - recorded in the Talmud - by the meticulous analysis of great sages.
		Halacha may generate in some men a reluctance to follow it.
		This is not a flaw in the system, but in man. You must be careful to separate personal discomfort, from that which is inherently bad for man, which Torah cannot be.

	Yeshua & Halacha
		Halacha is the body of literature that interprets Torah and seeks evidence to establish judicial laws, both civil and religious, that consist of codes of behavior and religious practice and procedures.
		The Hebrew word "halacha" means "to walk in the way." It is a term used for the rules that govern religious life.
		Halacha is an ancient term reflected in the New Testament meaning someone who "walks in the way." A few examples of this are found in Luke 1:6; Acts 21;21; Romans 13:13; 1 Corinthians 7:17; Ephesians 4:17; 5:15; Colossians 4:5; 1 Thessalonians 2:12; 4:1; 12:2; 2 Peter 2:10; 2 John 4-6.

		Precisely because the essence of halacha is the unity of the concrete actions it prescribes with the " theoretical or conceptual" basis of the Torah.
		Halacha is that which unites the most "spiritual" aspects of Judaism with the most physical, mundane details of life.
		Halacha, for the mystic, is the greatly condensed wisdom of God, inseparable from the most abstract metaphysical speculation.

	S.C.J. FAQ: Section 4.1. Halachic Authority: What is "Halacha?" How is it determined?
		Halacha is the application of the Law (Torah) to everyday living.
		Since the Halacha of each generation is decided by its greatest Torah scholars, and the Torah doesn't change, there is usually little change in the Halacha from one generation to the next.
		The development of Halacha is most evident when new situations arise for which rulings must be made, such as the destruction of the Temple, the development of electricity, and the increasing complexity of modern food processing technology.

		The halacha had been established: One was obligated to make their bed.
		Once again the halacha was adjusted accordingly: “One is m’chuyav to make his bed in the morning, within 10-15 minutes from when he gets up.
		Some felt that the halacha had to mean from when a person got out of bed, because as they explained, “if it meant ‘from when he woke up’ then the first thing he would have to do upon awaking would be to look at his clock and remember the time.

		Furthermore, according to halacha there is no basis to assume that those situated on the floors above the section of impact were totally burnt and no remains were left of them, because fire rises upwards.
		When they remove the remains for reburial, when the grave is opened they rend their garments, and when they begin to remove the body they sit in mourning until the end of that day.
		When they commence with the construction and when the buildings are in use, although the Cohen can no longer check if there are any body parts left, however, a questionable uncleanliness in a property that is frequented by the public is permitted to a Cohen.

		Y'shua's parallel in the argument seems to be that both Y'shua and his students, and David and his mighty men, were on a special mission that was of greater weight than the show bread halacha.
		Since Y'shua's students were at the time at the mount of olives, it would seem that the Pharisee halacha on this issue of 2,000 cubits (about.57 miles) is to be shared by Nazarenes.

	Doing Messianic Jewish Halacha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		The term "Halacha" is an ancient term that is already reflected in the New Testament especially in Paulâs letters.
		One of the major principles of making Halacha in Judaism was lacking seriously when Christians made "Halacha," and that is the strict adherence to the text of the Torah according to the exegetical rules for interpretation.
		In doing Messianic Jewish Halacha we must stay as close to the Word of God as possible, but at the same time remember that our judgment will not be on the basis of what kind of toilet paper we use on Sabbath, but on the Grace of God through Yeshuaâs sacrifice.

	Abortion and Halacha
		The easiest way to conceptualize a fetus in halacha is to imagine it as a full-fledged human being - but not quite.
		In most circumstances, the fetus is treated like any other "person." Generally, one may not deliberately harm a fetus, and sanctions are placed upon those that purposefully cause a woman to miscarry.
		The degree of mental illness that must be present to justify termination of a pregnancy is not well established and therefore criteria for permitting abortion in such instances remains controversial.

		The Arab village of El-Ram is identified as Ramah of the Tanach (the residence of Shmuel HaNavi).
		The fundamental question of whether Halacha considers the discovery of ancient artifacts is a matter of dispute that began in the time of the Rishonim.

		But these merely become a handful of beautiful concepts unless they are grounded in a foundation of strength; a structure that will provide the soil in which these ideas can take hold, root, and blossom.
		This foundation is the commandment to guard the Sabbath, and it is referring to halacha, known as Jewish law.
		Yet the word halacha does not literally translate as law, for it comes from the root "halach", which means "to go"; "to walk".

	Daily HALACHA by Rabbi Eli Mansour
		When the child is born via Cesarean section, Halacha says that the Milah in such a case does not take precedence over Shabbat and Yom Tov, meaning the Milah would not be permitted if the 8th day falls out on Shabbat or Yom Tov.
		According to Halacha, the Milah in the case above would not have to wait the 20 days.
		So the Halacha, for the boy who was born via Cesarean section on Tuesday, 2 days before Yom Kippur, his Milah would take place 13 days later on Sunday during Chol HaMoed Succot.

		Accordingly, anyone living on the king's land and not abiding by his laws, is using the king's land against his will, which is tantamount to stealing.
		Apart from these considerations, the Shach [11] rules that any secular law which contradicts Torah law has no authority and one cannot apply to it the rule: that "the law of the kingdom is law".
		The Shulchan Aruch [12] states that methods of agreement, which are not mentioned in halacha but are common business practices, such as the handshake, are recognized by halacha.

	Encore Archive: Unifying the Self through Halacha
		In fact, halacha comes from a root meaning not "law" but "walking," the path, the way to walk (or style one's life), the way to be Jewish everywhere, at all times-when one is tying one's shoelaces as well as when one is being ethical.
		Moreover, halacha in a way presupposes that being ethical is somehow bound up, oddly enough, with the way one ties his shoelaces.
		Discarding halacha has taken the task and the excitement of being Jewish out of the hands of the individual, out of his home, and out of his daily life and left it only to the rabbi, cantor and select elite at the synagogue.

	"Halacha and Democracy"
		In a case where a law enacted by the government is in opposition to the piskei halacha which forbid what the government allows, there is no way that what is forbidden to a Jew becomes permissible, simply because the members of the government have decided otherwise.
		According to the halacha prohibitory laws can be set aside only by pikuah nefesh (the saving of a life) or when there is a mitzvath aseh (positive command) which overrides the loh ta'aseh (prohibitory law).But these are principles which must be determined only according to halacha.
		The rabbanim pronounced this to be against the halacha, and decreed that religious girls must be exempt from conscription into the army.
