The issue of plant closings was analyzed from the point of view of the oral and written law of Judaism or halakhah. The two levels of Jewish law were also taken into account.

Hence, the concept of tzedakah, loosely translated as righteousness, enables employers to come up with informed decisions that take into consideration ethical implications.
