Bibliographical note

Abstract: Current scholarly study of Jewish law concentrates either on a description and analysis of halakhic doctrines, or on the jurisprudential theories underlying the thought of halakhic thinkers. Questions such as: how halakhic decisions are actually produced?, and what are the various constraints operating in halakhic decision-making?, usually receive very limited attention in the study of Halakha. This paper calls for a shift of focus, from the 'theoretical' (whether doctrinal or philosophical) to the 'practical', so that the halakhic process will occupy a central role in the study of Jewish law.
