A community portal about The Torah with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Torah is a Hebrew word meaning " teaching," " instruction," or " law ". It is the central and most important document of Judaism revered by Jews through the ages. It is written in Hebrew, the oldest Jewish language. It is also called the Law of Moses. Torah primarily refers to the first section of the Tanakh –the first five books of the Tanach. The term is sometimes also used in the general sense to also include both of Judaism's written law and oral law, encompassing the entire spectrum of authoritative Jewish religious teachings throughout history, including the Mishnah, the Talmud, the Midrash, and more.
