Talmud Bavli

The Talmud Bavli, also known as the Babylonian Talmud, is a central Jewish legal and scholarly text compiled over several centuries (roughly 3rd to 6th centuries CE). It consists of discussions, interpretations, and commentary on the Mishnah, an earlier code of Jewish law. The Talmud explores legal, ethical, and theological topics through detailed debate among rabbis. It serves as a foundational authority for Jewish law and practice, shaping religious life, ethics, and community norms within Judaism. The Bavli is one of the most studied and referenced texts in Jewish tradition.
