Stop me if you've heard this one before: "halakhah" technically doesn't mean "the law," it's closer to "the path." Because that's what this tradition is! A path that you can always return to no matter how far you veer off course. Except it's more like a huge multi-lane highway, so what happens if you veer across lanes and into the median, causing a high speed pursuit across state lines? Asking for a friend (Aaron the High Priest).
