What is Torah?

Torah is the central concept in the religious Judaic tradition. It has a range of meanings:
  • it can mean the first five books of the twenty-four books of the Tanakh;
  • it usually includes the rabbinic commentaries in it; the term Torah means instruction and offers a way of life for those who follow it;
  • it can mean the continued narrative from Genesis to the end of the Tanakh;
  • it can even mean the totality of Jewish teaching, culture and practice
According to rabbinic tradition, all of the teachings found in the Torah, both written and oral, were given by God to Moses, some of them at Mount Sinai and others at the Tabernacle, and all the teachings were then written down by Moses, which resulted in the Torah we have today.
