דִּין תּוֹרָה

ביטוי (אנגלית)

Jewish Law

הגדרה (אנגלית)

The rules of the Torah in all its layers. Halakha according to the Jewish religion.

(“And you shall make known to them the way they should go, and the deed they shall do” (Exodus 18:20) — “the deed they shall do” refers to actions that precede the proper order of judgment. Rabbi Yochanan said: Jerusalem was destroyed only because judgment in it was disregarded. Were these matters of trivial judgment? Rather, it means that they established their judgments according to Torah law but did not act according to the proper order of the law. Similarly, it is said: he was compelled to append the name of the Torah city of Israel to the name of the Polish town by the authority of Torah law.)
