ang talmud bro kanus a nasuwat? Dili lagi ka kalusot bro!
The
Talmud (
Hebrew: תַּלְמוּד) is a record of
rabbinic discussions pertaining to
Jewish law,
ethics, customs, and history. It is a central text of mainstream
Judaism, second only to the
Hebrew Bible in importance.
The Talmud has two components: the
Mishnah (c. 200
CE), the first written compendium of Judaism's Oral Law; and the
Gemara (c. 500 CE), a discussion of the Mishnah and related
Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the
Tanakh.
The terms
Talmud and
Gemara are often used interchangeably. The Gemara is the basis for all codes of
rabbinic law and is much quoted in other
rabbinic literature. The whole Talmud is also traditionally referred to as
Shas (ש"ס), a
Hebrew abbreviation of
shisha sedarim, the "six orders" of the Mishnah.
