Messianic Jewish Halacha
based on the Shulchan Aruch

Messianic Jewish Halacha seeks to maintain as much Commonality with our People, while making as few changes as possible to reflect our Messianic belief in Yeshua.  Some accommodations are made for changes required by life in the 21st century.

Items underlined are links to the detailed listing of that section.  Items not underlined are not finalized.

Methodology - There are 221 sections.  Each approved reviewer reviews a section in detail.  They then classify each portion of the decision either: appropriate without revision, or needing review.  All sections will be approved by at least 2 reviewers.  All changes must be agreed upon by the Beit Din after open discussion and posting in the Blog for comments on the revision.  All Halacha not requiring revision is accepted as is.
