The perception that Conservative Judaism prioritizes legal codes over ethical narratives fundamentally misunderstands the movement's core principles and heritage. Both halakhah (Jewish law) and aggadah (ethical narrative) serve as equally binding pillars of Conservative Jewish practice, rooted in the Talmud's own methodology of evolving legal interpretation through ethical reasoning. Through historical analysis, examination of Talmudic sources, legal precedents from both Jewish and secular contexts, and case studies of feminist reforms in Jewish practice during the 1970s-1980s, this investigation reveals how Conservative Judaism authentically applies Talmudic methodology when responding to moral imperatives. The movement's landmark decisions regarding women's religious equality—including counting women in the minyan and ordaining female rabbis—exemplify this integrated approach to law and ethics. However, the movement's inability to clearly articulate the ethical foundations underlying its halakhic changes has contributed to declining membership and a crisis of religious identity. Conservative Judaism's future vitality depends upon explicitly recognizing aggadah as equally binding with halakhah, necessitating substantial reforms in rabbinical education and institutional leadership to fully embrace this unified approach to Jewish law and ethics.
