Halakhah (Hebrew, from halek, "he went") is either a particular law, or the entire Jewish legal system. The halakhah, in its entirety, is believed to go back to Moses.
Halakhah for Truth Halakhah = 'legal decision,' here used symbolically for Sovereignty. Truth = Beauty. By studying the Torah (=Halakhah, the chief subject of Rabbinic study) in truth the Shekinah is adorned for Beauty.
A version of the latter appeared in English as ‘Nahmanides: Kabbalah, Halakhah and Spiritual Leadership', in M. Idel and M. Ostow (eds), Jewish Mystical Leaders and Leadership in the 13th Century, (Northvale, New Jersey, Jerusalem 1998) pp.
