#jewishlaw — Public Fediverse posts

"This #book examines #Jewish #law (#Halakhah) from both #historical and current perspectives, and also contemplates the future as law continues to evolve. As the introduction makes clear, the hope is that this volume, which clearly contains much original research material, as well as codifying succinctly what has gone before, will lead to further research and publications.

The volume is divided into three parts: ‘Reading Foundational Jewish Texts and Law’; ‘Distinguishing Characteristics of #JewishLaw’; and ‘Jewish Law and Practice in Modernity’."

This is a really interesting discussion about the government's judicial overhaul program. I found Prof Porat's discussion about how our High Court could apply Jewish law to resolve some of the issues caused by our lack of a constitution to be really interesting. 🤔

I thought I had a pretty good understanding of kosher law and food buying, but I actually learned quite a bit with this Frum It Up video on going grocery shopping as an Orthodox Jew.

EDIT: Sorry, I had the wrong video originally!

In #halakhah there never was a mandatory 6 hour wait time between eating milk and meat. That idea is a more recent (1500's) chumra חומרה (stringency.) People of course may follow this, but they should also know the history. Ashkenazi Orthodox insist on this waiting time as binding. Other Jews disagree.
