What Is Meta-Halakha
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Could you please define the concept of meta-halakha in your writings? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding it and pinning down its boundaries.
Answer
It depends on the context. Usually the intent is principles that underlie Jewish law or go beyond Jewish law. Like metaphysics in relation to physics, and the like.
