About The Talmud
The Talmud is a central text of Rabbinic Judaism, comprising a compilation of discussions and legal debates concerning Jewish law, ethics, customs, and history. It consists of two main parts: the Mishnah, a written collection of oral laws compiled around 200 CE, and the Gemara, which offers commentary and analysis on the Mishnah, finalized in the 5th century CE. The Talmud has played a crucial role in shaping Jewish thought and practice, influencing countless generations of Jewish scholars and communities.
