Talmud


The Talmud is the Jewish library of oral law and tradition. It is a record of traditional disscussions about Jewish law, ethics, customs and history. The Talmud contains two parts, the Mishnah (written part of the oral law) and the Gemara (which discusses the mishnah and other subjects).

I only knew about the torah as a text of Judaism but it is interesting to know that they have these two other major texts that hold so much tradition
