	Wisdom Center - Got Torah? \| The Chabad House at Stanford
		With Torah understood in its fullest sense, this may be taken as the authentic attitude of the believing Jew to Torah.
		Judaism maintains, as a cardinal principle in its approach to religion and to all of life, that faith and deeds are inseparable.
		Judaism is averse to spiritual generalities, to looking for meaning in a life detached from doing, as if meaning existed as a separate entity.

		The word Torah is employed when referring to the divinely revealed teachings of Jewish law and belief.
		A.D. The Torah was traditionally attributed to Moses, and study of the Torah was accompanied by expositions and explanations in which the Oral Law, as distinct from the Written Law (the Torah text), is rooted.
		While it is widely held that the Pharisees further developed the Oral Law, in opposition to the literalness of the Sadducees, it is inconceivable that the latter group could have administered the biblical laws without reinterpreting them in accordance with a changing world, or in the face of a lack of specificity in the text.

	THE IDEA OF TORAH IN JUDAISM by George Foot Moore
		Even for the external aspect of Torah, nomos, lex, Gesetz, "law" are inadequate: they convey the idea of normative authority derived from the custom of the community, the edict of a ruler, or the statute of a legislative body; none of them suggest the divine origin and authority which is inseparable from Torah.
		For Judaism, while in history and in actuality a national religion, the religion of one of the smaller peoples of the earth, was in idea and in destiny universal.
		Judaism on the contrary, as we have seen, appeared to ancient observers to be not a mystery but a philosophy.

		Judaism not only makes such a claim, but our Torah-keeping parents have all heard of this claim from their parents, and so on back for as 1000’s of years.
		Judaism is not a cult, and does not require that you join Judaism by giving up your mind or even closing it to other options.
		If the Torah is to have any meaning as a code for all generations, there has to be a set of principles, of interpretations, a set of fundamentals and rules within which any authentic expression of Judaism must remain.

		Although the word "Torah" is sometimes used to refer to the entire Tanakh or even the whole body of Jewish writings, it technically means the first five books of the Tanakh.

		The Torah is by far the most important part of the Tanakh because, in addition to including these important stories, it also details the commandments (mitzvot) God gave the Jewish people through Moses.
