Halakha (
Hebrew: הלכה ; alternate
transliterations include Halakhah, Halocho, and Halacha), is the collective corpus of
Jewish religious law, including biblical law (the
613 mitzvot) and later
talmudic and rabbinic law as well as customs and traditions. Judaism classically draws no distinction in its laws between religious and ostensibly non-religious life. Hence, Halakha guides not only religious practices and beliefs, but numerous aspects of day-to-day life. Halakha is often translated as "Jewish Law," though a more literal translation might be "the path" or "the way of walking." The word is derived from the Hebrew root that means to go, to walk or to travel.
