A deep philosophical tension plagues Conservative Judaism: the artificial divide between religious law (halakhah) and religious experience. This rift, which Abraham Joshua Heschel dubbed "Spinoza's venom," has fractured modern Jewish legal discourse into competing camps of dry legalism and pure spirituality. Drawing on the philosophical clash between Platonic realism and positivism, this analysis traces how both liberal and Orthodox movements have inherited Spinoza's problematic separation of law from religion, following its path through Moses Mendelssohn to contemporary halakhic authorities. Using Gödel's incompleteness theorem as an analogy, the research demonstrates that formal halakhic systems, while crucial, cannot fully encompass divine will or religious truth. Through historical analysis of Jewish philosophical texts and contemporary halakhic debates within the Conservative movement's Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, the paper advocates for a "prophetic halakhah" that unites systematic legal reasoning with collective religious intuition. This integrated approach, supported by voices from Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook to modern Orthodox thinkers like Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, offers Conservative Judaism a path beyond the false dichotomy of religious positivism and antinomianism. Such integration proves essential for developing a viable "halakhic American Judaism" that authentically embodies both textual authority and transcendent religious truth, allowing Jews to remain simultaneously a "people of the book" and a "people of God."
