šØPlease take a minute and read this. The Torah that G-d gave us at Mount Sinai has two parts:
1.The Torah Sheābichtav (the Written Torah)
2.The Torah Sheābaal Peh (The Oral Torah)
The Written Torah consists of the Tanach, which is an acronym for its 24 books made up of the:
ā¢Torah
ā¢Navi/Prophets
ā¢Ketuvim/Writings
Most Jews are familiar with the Written Torah. Some of the 24 books are: the Five Books of Moses, King Davidās Book of Psalms, King Solomonās Proverbs, Isaiah, and the Book of Esther (the Megillah) that we read/hear twice on Purim.
The Oral Torah was all the detailed instructions G-d gave Moses on Mount Sinai along with the Written Torah.
For example, the Written Torah tells us the commandment to put on tefillin and the Oral Torah tells us the shape, color and material of the tefillin. The Written Torah tells us to build a sukkah and the Oral Torah explains the specifications and measurements the sukkah needs to be.
Throughout the generations from Mosesā time and on, the Oral Torah was passed down verbally from teacher to student, hence its name.
As the centuries passed and the Jews were going through the difficulties of exile, this oral transmission of Torah was at risk of being forgotten. Realizing this, Rabbi Judah the Prince (around 1800 years ago) gathered the Torah scholars from his generation and compiled all the oral teachings into what is called the Mishnah. Then, all the thoughts and details based on the general statements of the Mishnah were written down during the time period approximately 300-400 years later. Thatās called the Gemara. The Mishnah and Gemara together are called the Talmud. And thatās how the Oral Torah got written down.
So, if we only had the Written Torah, we would know what the commandments were, but we wouldnāt know how to do them without the details in the Oral Torah. Both are very important parts of Judaism.
Nowadays, the entire Torah (both Written and Oral) have been translated into many languages. So, if you havenāt had an opportunity to learn, or would like to learn more, find someone to study with.
Although the Talmud is extremely detailed and complex, I find that it opens your mind and makes you a better listener.
If you arenāt already, I would highly recommend learning the weekly Torah portion with Rashiās commentary. Rashi (an acronym for Rabbi Solomon Yitzchaki) was born in 1040 and he is still known as the Torahās foremost commentator. The weekly Torah portion is broken into seven sections, one for each day. Sometimes it takes 10-15 minutes to read, and sometimes it takes longer. Rashi comments/explains many of the verses, referencing books of the Written Torah and the Oral Torah, so itās a good way to get acquainted with or learn more in both Tanach and the Talmud.
There is so much to know and learn about Judaism, and with all the technology we have available, literally in our hands, everyone can spend at least a few minutes a day learning.
If you have any questions, I am happy to help. And, if youād like to share what you enjoy learning, feel free to tell us in the comments.

#RoshHashanah
In two days, on the 9th day of the month of Av (Lunar/Jewish calendar), Jews around the world will fast, as they have for nearly 2000 years, mourning the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash, the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. If youāve ever visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem, youāve seen the last remaining part of that very Temple!
