Next to Islam, Jewish jurisprudence is the most extensive jurisprudence among all divine laws. "The Bible" is the most important written source and "Minhāj" is considered one of the most useful non-written sources in Jewish law. The important question of the upcoming article is that according to the special nature of Minhāj and the experiences gained from human life in different times and places, ‘Can the current realm of the authority of Minhāj in Judaism be reconciled with the realities in societies and the defined position of the Bible among the sources of Jewish law and the principle of Torah rule?’ The present study aims to identify the roots of some problems and behavioral chaos attributed to religion and to provide the necessary suggestion for method reform. The following article investigates the nature of Jewish jurisprudence and religious sources in Judaism with a descriptive-analytical method, and after studying and analyzing the position of the Bible and Minhāj and its various dimensions, it comes to the conclusion that considering the basic position of the holy book and the Torah in Judaism as the main sources of Sharia and the source of revelation, as well as the disturbing results of accepting the independent source of Minhāj throughout history, must be seriously reflected in the current territory of Minhāj.
