The Torah

The Torah is the central holy text of Judaism, consisting of the first five books—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—traditionally attributed to Moses. It contains teachings, laws, stories, and ethical principles foundational to Jewish faith and identity. The Torah guides religious practice, moral conduct, and cultural traditions, offering insights into the relationship between God and the Jewish people. It is often studied, read aloud in synagogues, and regarded as a divine document shaping Jewish life and history.
