| | Torah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Modern historians affirm that the Torah was gradually recorded as the Hebrew Bible between the 5th century BC and the 2nd century BC. | | | Torah observant Jews follow the traditional explication of these texts. | | | Torah (תּוֹרָה) is a Hebrew word meaning "teaching," "instruction," or "law". |

| | Knowledge - Torah Study |
| | This idea is mentioned in the Torah: "Because you wouldn't serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and with gladness of heart for the abundance of all things, you shall therefore serve your enemies...in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things". | | | Anyone who learns Torah at night will be treated kindly during the day, as it is written, "The Lord will command His steadfast love in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, a prayer to the God of my life". | | | These types of students who don't learn Torah as appropriate but learn because they want to grow in the eyes of ignoramuses and members of their towns, and sit on the High Court of Israel, are those who cause arguments, destroy the world, extinguish the light of Torah and destroy the works of God. |

| | The Torah is portrayed in rabbinic tradition as predating all history, the very blueprint according to which God constructed the universe. | | | According to some rabbinic sources, therefore, the Israelites’ acceptance of the Torah at Mt. Sinai enabled the world to continue to exist and not be plunged back into primordial chaos. | | | Themes and Theology: More than simply a means to learning the content of divinely revealed law, Torah study is an end in itself--according to some, another way of worshipping God. |

| | The term "Bible" is more commonly used by non-Jews, as are the terms "Old Testament" and "New Testament." The appropriate term for Jews to use for the Hebrew Bible is "Tanakh." Tanakh is an acronym for Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings). | | | The Written Law consists of the books of the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh. | | | More often, this term means the text of the Five Books of Moses, written in any format, whether Torah scroll, paperback book, CDROM, skywriting or any other media. |

Accordingly, it is improper for a teacher to act frivolously in front of his pupils; he should not jest in their presence, nor eat and drink with them, so that they should revere him and learn from him speedily. | | | The words of the Torah have been compared to water, as it is written: "Oh every one who thirsts, come to the waters" (Isaiah 55:1). |

| | Study of Tanach via the hypertext technique brings divine fire into the world, making the text dance and rejoice, recalling the revelation at Sinai. | | | Torah - usually refers to the Five Books of Moses; sometimes more broadly to the Jewish Bible (Tanach), or even more broadly to all works of Jewish law and tradition. | | | Ben Azzai was asked, "Did this occur because you study the fiery mystery of the Merkavah [the chariot in the vision of Ezekiel]?" That would have explained the fire, since G-d is in the fire, too. |
