	JewishEncyclopedia.com - MISHNAH
		It is, on the contrary, a collection which includes almost the entire material of the oral doctrine as developed from the period of the earliest halakic exegesis down to that of the fixed and crystallized halakot of the early third century.
		This first collection of the Mishnah and its separation from the Midrash were intended, on the one hand, to reduce the traditional Halakah to a shorter form, and, on the other, to fix the disputed halakot as such; of these disputed halakot there were then but few.
		This earliest Mishnah was intended to afford the teachers both a norm for their decisions and a text-book for their classes and discourses, and thus to preserve the uniformity of teaching.

	Mishnah
		Mishnah, a Hebrew term meaning "repetition" or "study," is the name given to the oldest postbiblical codification of Jewish Oral Law.
		The Mishnah, the first part of the Talmud, is a codification of the oral law of the Old Testament and of the political and civil laws of the Jews.
		The Mishnah presents only a codification of laws; it is followed by the Gemara, or second part of the Talmud, consisting of an elaborate commentary on the Mishnah.

	Mishnah
		In some contexts "Mishnah" is contrasted with "Midrash." The latter term denotes Rabbinic teachings that are attached to the text of the Bible, whereas the former term refers to teachings that are organized or formulated independently of Scipture.
		The Jewish sages whose statements are quoted in the Mishnah are known as Tanna'im (singular: "Tanna"), derived from the Aramaic root related to the Hebrew "ShNH".
		The Mishnah form lent itself most effectively to traditions that were not derived from Scripture or, more commonly, to the unfolding of legal principles whose Biblical roots had been so elaborated that they could be discussed adequately without having to return to their exegetical origins.

		Although most of the Mishnah is made up of legal rulings and disputes, there are several other literary types included in it, including midrashic segments (i.e., Biblical passages accompanied by their Rabbinic interpretations), anecdotal precedents, extensive narrative descriptions of rituals and procedures (especially of Temple ceremonies), and more.

	Kavvanah (Concentration) for Prayer in the Mishnah and Talmud

		To recapitulate, in Mishnah's rules for the recitation of the Prayer and the Shema`, we may distinguish two levels of kavvanah (one for the Shema` and one for the Prayer of Eighteen) and three different forms of disruption of kavvanah (the emotional states of fear, desire, grief).

	MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: Overview: The Mishnah
		Although the Talmud (the compendium of the Mishnah and the Gemara, which interprets and comments on the Mishnah) preserves traditions allegedly contemporaneous with the Mishnah that refer to the Bar Kokhba rebellion and defeat, the Mishnah itself ignores these.
		In this way, the Mishnah is a document that describes a life of sanctification, in which the rituals of the Temple are adapted for communal participation in a world that has no Temple, which escapes the ups and downs of history.
		The Mishnah is divided into six orders; each order is divided into tractates; each tractate is divided into chapters, and each chapter has a number of halakhot. This structure became the template for all of subsequent Talmudic literature.

		Although the Mishnah isn't arranged as a commentary on the Torah or Tanach in general, much of the Mishnah does explain the Tanach, wherever there seem to be gaps in meaning or narrative.
		The Mishnah is the most important collection of the teachings of a group of scholars known as the Tannaim.
		By the time the Mishnah was composed, Aramaic dialects had supplanted Hebrew as the language of everyday life, and Hebrew had thus become a language employed only for legal and religious purposes.

		The Talmud has two components: the Mishnah, which is the first written compendium of Judaism's Oral Law; and the Gemara, a discussion of the Mishnah (though the terms Talmud and Gemara are often used interchangeably).
		While arranged as comments on the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings, the Gemara often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Tanakh.

		The Mishnah (Hebrew, "Repetition") is the core of rabbinic Judaism's religious texts.
		This parallel set of material was originally transmitted orally, and came to be known as the oral law.
		Over the next four centuries this law underwent discussion and debate in both of the world's major Jewish communities (in the land of Israel and Babylon), and the commentaries on the Mishnah from both of these communities eventually came to be edited together into compilations known as the Talmud.

		A discussion of the Mishnah took place in the academies of Babylonia between the years 200 and 600 CE.
		Together, Mishnah and Gemara comprise the Talmud (the written record of what Jews believe is Moses' oral Torah, its meaning, and application).
		The Mishnah, as it has come down to us, was written and closed by Judah HaNasi, the leading scholar and religious authority of his generation, around the year 200 CE., thus making it possible to transmit Jewish learning despite a dearth of rabbis and sages in his generation.

		In its final form the Mishnah comprises sixty-three (originally sixty) canonical tractates (along with seven extracanonical ones, which are sometimes printed at the conclusion of the Fourth Seder).
		Texts in the Mishnah are usually cited according to the name of the tractate, the chapter, and the paragraph, without the name of the Seder.
		Legal opinions that continue and comment on the Mishnah were collected around 300 C.E. into the Tosephta ("supplement"), which, although it cites sources older than the Mishnah and is four times longer, has not achieved the same status as the Mishnah.

	Mishnah (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Mishnah (Hebrew, teaching) is Jewish oral law and in particular a collection of oral law completed by Judah ha-Nasi.
		Originally all oral law was designated as "mishnah" and it was accepted that the mishnah of one tanna was different from that of another.
		After Judah ah-Nasi reacted and arranged his six orders of mishnah around the beginning of the sixth century AD it was initially described as "Our Mishnah." The Mishnah is divided into six sedarim, orders, Zeraim (Seeds), Mo'ed (Festivals), Nashim (Women), Nezikim (Damages), Kodashim (Holy Things), and Tohorot (Purities): the Talmuds are based on these sedarim.
