The Talmud (/ˈtɑːlmʊd, -məd, ˈtæl-/; Hebrew: ‫ ַּתלְמּוד‬Tálmūḏ) is the central text
of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law (halakha)
and Jewish theology.[1][2] Until the advent of modernity, in nearly all Jewish communities,
the Talmud was the centerpiece of Jewish cultural life and was foundational to "all
Jewish thought and aspirations", serving also as "the guide for the daily life" of Jews.[3]
The term "Talmud" normally refers to the collection of writings named specifically
the Babylonian Talmud (Talmud Bavli), although there is also an earlier collection
known as the Jerusalem Talmud (Talmud Yerushalmi).[4] It may also traditionally be
called Shas (‫)ש״ס‬, a Hebrew abbreviation of shisha sedarim, or the "six orders" of
the Mishnah.
The Talmud has two components; the Mishnah (‫משנה‬, c. 200 CE), a
written compendium of the Oral Torah; and the Gemara (‫גמרא‬, c. 500 CE),
an elucidation of the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto
other subjects and expounds broadly on the Hebrew Bible. The term "Talmud" may
refer to either the Gemara alone, or the Mishnah and Gemara together.
The entire Talmud consists of 63 tractates, and in the standard print, called the Vilna
Shas, there are 2,711 double-sided folios.[5] It is written in Mishnaic Hebrew and Jewish
Babylonian Aramaic and contains the teachings and opinions of thousands
of rabbis (dating from before the Common Era through to the fifth century) on a variety
of subjects, including halakha, Jewish ethics, philosophy, customs, history, and folklore,
and many other topics. The Talmud is the basis for all codes of Jewish law and is widely
quoted in
