The Torah

A brief primer on the Torah: the Written Law as well as the Oral Law and its many sub-sections.

What Is the Torah?
G‑d’s guide to mankind consists of two parts—the Written and Oral Laws—and 613 components.
The Oral Torah has come a long way since it was orally transmitted to Moses atop Mount Sinai. But despite the long way, it remains unchanged at its core.
A timeline of the transmission of the Oral Law
Moses received the Torah in the year 2448 after creation. Nearly 2000 years later, Rabbi Ashi and Ravina completed the Talmud. See the links in the transmission of the Oral Law from Moses until the completion of the Talmud.
