Torah Observance
Torah Observance refers to the practice of following the laws and teachings found in the Torah, which is the central reference of the religious Judaic tradition. The Torah consists of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible and outlines various commandments, ethical guidelines, and rituals that guide the daily lives of observant Jews.
Observing the Torah involves adhering to the mitzvot, or commandments, which cover aspects of life such as dietary laws, prayer, and ethical behavior. This observance can vary among different Jewish communities, including Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism, each interpreting the Torah's teachings in unique ways.
