Jewish Law (Halakha) Scholars

Jewish Law (Halakha) Scholars gathers the rabbinic jurists and legal commentators of the Jewish legal tradition, the halakha built on the Torah, the Talmud and the accumulated rulings of generations of rabbinic authorities. Its members span the Babylonian and North African rabbinic academies of the early medieval period through the great codifiers whose works remain the reference point for Jewish legal practice today.
