Can someone give me the different between the Talmud and the Torah..?

When this question is asked many people confuse "the science" for "the textbook"

This seems to be the case with the answers here.

Torah is the Jewish legal system.

The "written Torah" is the Constitution of the Jewish system -- it is the short summary of the system.

The details of the Torah are referred to as "oral Torah" or Talmud.

Talmud means "the teaching"

(a Melamed is a teacher, a Talmid is a student)

The Talmud is the practical and detailed explanation of the written Torah text that was taught by Moshe (Moses) at the same time as he wrote the Torah.

This word "teaching" was used by Moses himself (cf Deuteronomy 4:1).

"The Teaching" starts with the teaching of the letters as well as the way to read the text of the Torah (the Torah text does not have vowels and punctuation marks),

and includes the teaching of the details of all of the laws that are only briefly mentioned in the written Torah

(for example - how to properly slaughter an animal for eating, how to make and wear the fringes that are commanded, what are the "philacteries" and how to make and use them...)

Finally, "the teaching" also includes the further legislative and judicial developments by the sages of Israel under the authority given to them by God in the Torah.

The first textbook to aid in teaching the Talmud was the Mishnah.

This was expanded by the Gemarah.

The whole set of Mishnah and Gemarah are also called "The Talmud"

These textbooks were created as a massive project cooperatively by all of the law academies of the people of Israel - starting from around 100 CE and completed in roughly 600 CE

Torah

Torah (in Hebrew)

Level: Basic

• Torah in the narrowest sense refers to the first five books of the Bible

• In a broader sense, Torah includes all Jewish law and tradition

• Torah was given to Moses in written form with oral commentary

• The oral component is now written in the Talmud

• There are additional important writings

Jewish answer: The Torah - 1st five books of the Jewish Tanakh. The Talmud, the debates, findings, suggestions, disagreements and musings of Jewish sages on the Torah.

For example: Torah = keep the Sabbath and make it holy. Okay - there's a long list of what not to do on Shabbat but no instruction on how to make it holy. The Talmud sages, over time, came up with suggestions that became tradition so that we do keep Shabbat holy.

On that note - later.

Shabbat Shalom

Torah - the Pentateuch, being the first of the three Jewish divisions of the Old Testament.

Talmud - the collection of Jewish law and tradition consisting of the Mishnah and the Gemara and being either the edition produced in Palestine a.d. c400 or the larger, more important one produced in Babylonia a.d. c500.
