Jewish texts

Jewish texts encompass sacred writings that guide faith, ethics, and history. Key texts include the Torah, which contains the foundational laws and stories of Judaism; the Tanakh, a broader compilation that includes the Torah, Prophets, and Writings; and the Talmud, a complex collection of discussions and guidelines interpreting the Torah. These texts explore spiritual beliefs, moral principles, and community laws, shaping Jewish identity and practice. They are studied to understand God's will, ethical living, and Jewish history, fostering a connection between tradition and daily life for believers.
