Jewish texts encompass a wide range of writings that are central to the Jewish faith and culture. The most important of these is the Tanakh, which includes the Torah (the first five books), the Nevi'im (Prophets), and the Ketuvim (Writings). These texts contain religious laws, historical narratives, and poetry, forming the foundation of Jewish belief and practice. In addition to the Tanakh, the Talmud is another significant collection of Jewish texts. It consists of the Mishnah, a compilation of oral laws, and the Gemara, which is a commentary on the Mishnah. Together, they explore legal, ethical, and philosophical questions, guiding Jewish life and thought throughout the centuries.
