The Jerusalem Talmud

The Jerusalem Talmud, also known as the Talmud Yerushalmi, is a key Jewish text compiled in the Land of Israel around the 4th to 5th centuries CE. It is a compilation of discussions, interpretations, and commentary on the Mishnah, which is an earlier collection of Jewish laws and traditions. The Jerusalem Talmud explores legal, ethical, and religious issues, providing insight into Jewish life and thought during that period. It is distinct from the Babylonian Talmud, which was compiled later in Babylonia, and both serve as foundational texts for Jewish study and law.
