11 See Menachem Elon, ed., The Principles of Jewish Law 20-21 (1974) ("A striking expression of the religious and national character of Jewish law is to be found in the prohibition on litigation in the gentile courts ... to which the halakhic scholars and communal leaders attached the utmost importance .... any person transgressing the prohibition was deemed to have reviled and blasphemed and rebelled against the Torah").

DEFINE: Clarifies the halakhic prohibition on gentile courts and its serious theological significance.
