What Is the Torah?

The Torah is the foundation of Jewish life. It includes the Five Books of Moses, given at Sinai, and the Oral Torah — explanations and traditions passed down through generations. Together, they form the blueprint of Jewish law, ethics, history, and belief. The Torah is studied daily, chanted in synagogue, and shapes Jewish practice from Shabbat to social justice. More than a book, it’s a living covenant — our connection to God, our guide for life, and the source of endless wisdom. Learning Torah is how Jews grow, question, and find meaning in every aspect of life.
