Talmud Yerushalmi

The Talmud Yerushalmi, also known as the Jerusalem Talmud, is a central Jewish text compiled in the Land of Israel around the 4th to 5th centuries CE. It contains discussions and interpretations of the Mishnah, a foundational Jewish legal code, focusing on laws, ethics, and religious practices. Like the more widely known Babylonian Talmud, it explores how to apply Jewish laws and principles but reflects the customs and scholarly traditions of the local Jewish community in Jerusalem. It is an essential source for understanding early Jewish law, thought, and religious practice.
