Synopsis

This book sets out to provide a new perspective on the evolution of halakhah. According to David Raab, halakhah should be seen through a “people-centric” narrative, where the community of observant Jews – the People – drive the refinement, redefinition, change in, and, finally, acceptance of halakhah. In a word, the corpus of halakhah and the details of its observance as it is practiced today is what the people have decided it to be. This people-centric evolution of Jewish law should be characterized as democratic.
