		Torah (×ª×•×¨×”) is a Hebrew word meaning "teaching," "instruction," or "law." It is the central and most important document of Judaism revered by Jews through the ages.
		For Jews, the Torah was traditionally accepted as the literal word of God as told to Moses, a very difficult notion for those who are not connected to that type of thinking.
		The Torah is the primary document of Judaism, and is the source of all Biblical commandments, in an ethical framework.

		Torah, according to Jewish theology, derives from heaven, which is both the name of the celestial creation and a name of haShem (literally, "the Name," a rabbinic reference to God).
		Now, given the fact that the Mishnah is case law, we would expect the rabbis concerned to elucidate the issue around the question of whether person Q, the stumbler, would be liable for intentionally breaking something that appeared to be abandoned on the road.
		Given the rabbinic conviction/mythos that oral Torah derived from Sinai, the expounding of concerns from case law through narrative of a less abstract (philosophical) and concrete (applicable to case law) manner is the expounding of the concerns of God in the world today.

		In the Mishna, the name for the sixty-three tractates in which Rabbi Judah set down the Oral Law, Jewish law is systematically codified, unlike in the Torah.
		For example, if a person wanted to find every law in the Torah about the Sabbath, he would have to locate scattered references in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers.
		Indeed, in order to know everything the Torah said on a given subject, one either had to read through all of it or know its contents by heart.

		It is the theological meaning of Shabbat that we learn from the Torah (witness the culmination of the first account of creation or the reasons given for its observance in the two versions of the Ten Commandments) and not the proscriptions and rituals that set it apart.
		The elaboration of Shabbat by the Mishnah is but one striking example of the perplexing relationship between the Torah and Mishnah, the first two normative texts of Judaism.
		The Mishnah is not a commentary on the Torah; nor does it regularly seek to ground its definitions of what is permitted and forbidden on verses from Scripture.

	The Writings of Rabbinic Judaism
		This "oral" Torah — which had been passed on from Moses outside of the priestly hierarchy because he did not "trust" Aaron and the priests — was not seen as a gloss on the Pentateuch, but rather was supposed to be an independent tradition of equivalent standing.
		Mishnah (the name means "repetition," a subliminal argument that the ideas in it are an oral tradition stretching back for a millennium) is an instance of a nifty new idea that the Rabbis got from the Greeks — categorization.
		This is the Karaite "heresy." The Karaites reverted to the Sadducean belief that the Oral Torah was a fraud, and chose to adhere strictly to the written Torah.

	Judaism 101: Torah
		But the word "torah" can also be used to refer to the entire Jewish bible (the body of scripture known to non-Jews as the Old Testament and to Jews as the Tanakh or Written Torah), or in its broadest sense, to the whole body of Jewish law and teachings.
		The Torah scrolls that we read from in synagogue are unpointed text, with no vowels or musical notes, so the ability to read a passage from a scroll is a valuable skill, and usually requires substantial advance preparation (reviewing the passage in a text with points).
		Although these divisions seem to indicate subject matter, it is important to note that the Mishnah and the Talmud tend to be engage in quite a bit of free-association, thus widely diverse subjects may be discussed in a seder or masekhtah.

		But his three major works are: his commentary to the Mishnah [a third century collection of legal rulings and opinions], compiled in his youth; his gigantic code of law, the Mishnah Torah, compiled in his middle age; and his best known work among non-Halakhists, the Guide of the Perplexed, compiled in his old age.
		The Mishnah Torah (“Second to the Torah”) is Maimonides’ great code of Jewish law, written, unlike the other two works considered here, in Hebrew, of which he was a superb master.
		Unlike other codes, the Mishnah Torah does not only include practical law for the guidance of Jews after the destruction of the Temple but also laws that were in operation in Temple times, such as the whole sacrificial system, in the Messianic hope that these laws, too, will one day come into operation.
