Halachah, Halakah, Halacha, ha-lak′�, n. an amplification of points not explicitly set forth in the Mosaic law, deduced from it by analogy, and arranged in the collection of legal precepts designated Halachoth.—adj.

While the Halakah remained antagonistic to proselytism on account of its narrow adherence to the spirit of the Priestly Code, the Haggadah exhibits a broader view.

It is probable that contact with Roman jurisprudence had affected the practical interpretations which the Alexandrian Sanhedrin put upon the Biblical legislation, and was the cause of some of their differences from the Palestinian Halakah.

His mature works do not show any profound knowledge either of the Halakah or of the Haggadah, so that the statement is not to be taken strictly.

What has been said up to this point indicates the position taken by Rashi with regard to the Halakah.
