halakha
This term refers to the comprehensive system of Jewish law, encompassing both the written commandments and the interpretive traditions that guide daily religious practice. It is distinct from Aggadah, which focuses on narrative, homiletics, and folklore, whereas halakha is strictly concerned with the legal and normative aspects of faith.
As a specialized religious term, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It represents a collective body of law rather than a single rule or statute; therefore, it does not take a plural form in standard English usage.
