Torah

The Torah is the most important document in Judaism. It is the record of God reaching out to man, supposedly it was first presented to Moses. The Torah consists of what is known as the 'Old Testament' in the Christian Bible, but to Jews the 'New Testament' is no part of Jewish scripture and there is no 'Old Testament'. The Five Books' names of the Torah are as follows:

* Genesis ("In the beginning...")
* Exodus ("Names")
* Leviticus ("And he called...")
* Numbers ("In the desert...")
* Deuteronomy ("Words", "Discourses", or "Things")

What has been described is the Written Torah. It is also important to realize there is a second Torah, the 'Oral Torah'. The Oral Torah goes more into the finer details of what is described in the Written Torah. For example, in the Written Torah Jews are instructed not to 'work'. However, what is and is not 'work' is not described in the Written Torah, in order to find this information you must search the Oral Torah.
