Oral Torah

The Five Books of Moses, what most people call the Torah, are considered the most ancient and sacred possessions of the Jews and Judaism. The teachings written there form the original core of the Jewish understanding of the world, and especially their understanding of themselves and their relationship with God and with the world. Jews all over the world continue to study these teachings, formally and informally, directly from the written texts of these books, which are thousands of years old.
