A halachic state is a kind of government where laws are based on Jewish religious law, also known as halacha. Jewish people believe that halacha comes from God, so it's like traditional laws instead of laws made by people. In a halachic state, laws about things like marriage, divorce, business rules, and other civil laws would all be based on the teachings in the Torah and from the Rabbis. In a halachic state, Jewish people have the freedom to practice their religion, and other people also have rights, including the freedom to practice another religion.
