Halakic

/hɑːˈlɑːkɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or governed by halakah; concerning Jewish religious law and legal traditions.

Etymology

From halakah plus the suffix -ic, which forms adjectives. This creates the adjectival form to describe things related to Jewish law.

Kelly Says

When something is described as 'halakic,' it means it's being evaluated through the lens of Jewish law—a halakic question about food, dress, or work carries centuries of legal precedent.
