Examining the laws and traditions of the “Jewish people” over time, one notices a significant lack of consistency between practices. This inconsistency can be attributed to several historical factors, namely the intense faith placed in God-given laws and the diasporic nature of religion, as well as the temporal factor of cultural paradigm shifts. All of these factors culminate in the idea that although halakhic laws are never changed, the situations in which they apply are. The diasporic nature of Judaism refers to the geographic spread of the religion and its members from a concentrated epicenter to a large area of ​​the world. As the Jews encountered and eventually became part of different kingdoms, countries, and cultures, they required a form of Judaism separate from the Israelite religion that allowed for the continuation of religious practices in concert with adaptation to many different geographic and cultural situations. Rabbinic Judaism was the outgrowth of this diasporic nature and fulfilled this requirement through its portability and adaptability due to its emphasis on the Takkanot, or rabbinic laws, in addition to the written and oral Torah. Essentially, rabbinic Judaism established a component of practical human authority (the rabbis) in a religion historically centered on divine authority. In doing so, the rabbis were able to interpret the God-given laws of Halakhah and make informed decisions regarding the application of those laws to the various situations that Jews around the world encountered on a case-by-case basis. Examples of changing the applicability of Halakhah abound and can be divided into several categories: adaptations to geographical change, adaptations to political changes… middle of the document… amount of diversity among Jewish practices. However, this is not a bad thing at all. Indeed, rabbinic Judaism encourages the continuation of traditions as they were learned and promotes the further adaptation of traditions through the mixing of Jews from throughout the diaspora. Ultimately, the continuation of traditions leads to a proportional number of types of Judaism. And this, together with the diasporic nature of rabbinic Judaism, in turn contributes to the religion's adaptability to the geographical, political, cultural and technological changes that have characterized the observance of Halakhah thus far, and will undoubtedly influence the observance of Halakhah around the world . future. As history has revealed, this portable and adaptable nature of Rabbinic Judaism has allowed the religion to stand the test of time and shows promise for its survival for many years to come..
