Amoraic refers to the teachings and discussions of the Amoraim, Jewish scholars who lived during the period of the Talmud from approximately 200 to 500 CE. They played a crucial role in interpreting and expanding upon the earlier Mishnah, providing insights and legal rulings that shaped Jewish law and tradition. The Amoraic period is characterized by the compilation of the Gemara, which, along with the Mishnah, forms the Talmud. This body of work includes debates, stories, and legal discussions, reflecting the diverse opinions and interpretations of the Amoraim, and serves as a foundational text for Jewish learning and practice.
