Torah


The Torah is the Jewish bible and contains two components: The Written Torah and the Oral Torah. The Written Torah has the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The Oral Torah contains the Mishna and Talmud. The Torah in general teaches about the covenant and contains the fundamental principles of faith: hope, justice, love, purity, thanksgiving and virtue. The Torah was revealed to Moses by God and is a guide to the relationship between man and God. It is also used in many practices and rituals.
