In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Moshe Koppel, professor of computer science at Bar-Ilan University to discuss some of the ideas in his books Judaism Straight Up and Meta-Halakhah. We discuss how to conceptualize the halachic system and explore how Halacha's development can be seen through the prism of language and what that means for our halachic commitment today.
How should halacha be legislated?
What does it mean that halacha is like language?
What can halacha as language teach us about the development and legislation of halacha?

Tune in to hear this fascinating conversation about halacha's development.
