How should Jewish law evolve to address modern challenges while preserving tradition? The Committee on Law within the Rabbinical Assembly of Conservative Judaism grapples with this fundamental tension as it interprets practical law and renders decisions on ritual questions. Through historical analysis and comparative legal examination, the research reveals how contemporary practitioners face unprecedented difficulties due to rapid social change and erosion of traditional authority. Interpretation requires a delicate balance: reconciling established legal rules with current realities while learning from historical precedent. Several obstacles impede effective halakhic interpretation, including challenges from historical criticism and ritual resistance. Case studies, particularly regarding marriage annulment based on fraud, demonstrate where current Jewish law falls short compared to civil remedies. To address these challenges, the committee must navigate between cautious preservation and necessary innovation, promoting deeper halakhic study among rabbis while developing systematic approaches to modern legal questions. The research recommends implementing annual conferences, publishing detailed decisions, and establishing structured study programs to strengthen rabbinical authority and maintain Jewish legal tradition within modern American contexts.
