Mishna

The Mishna is a foundational Jewish text compiled around 200 CE, consisting of legal teachings, ethical guidelines, and religious practices. It serves as an oral tradition that was recorded to preserve Jewish law and customs before the development of the Talmud, which elaborates on these teachings. Organized into six orders, each containing multiple tractates, the Mishna addresses everyday aspects of Jewish life, ritual observance, and legal reasoning. It functions as a guide for studying, interpreting, and applying Jewish law, providing a structured framework for religious practice and community conduct.
