See United Torah Judaism and Degel HaTorah for the Haredi Judaism Haredi List of political parties in Israel Israeli political parties . unreferenced date November 2007 Torah Judaism is an English language English term applied to a number of Orthodox Judaism Orthodox Jewish groups to describe their Judaism as being based on an adherence to the laws of the Torah s mitzvot as expounded in Orthodox Halakha . These laws include both the Biblical and rabbinic mitzvot. Followers of Torah Judaism also follow the Daat Torah , i.e., the guidelines of rabbi s or hakhamim based on the Talmud . In recent time, these hakhamim may include the followers rebbe s Hasidic Judaism Hasidic rabbis , Rosh yeshiva rosh yeshivas deans of yeshiva s Talmud ical schools , or a posek , often identified as an expert in the Shulkhan Arukh , the Code of Jewish Law . This recognition of a posek is often limited to Haredi communities, as opposed to Modern Orthodox Jews, although the latter are also Torah observant. The phrase Torah Judaism implies a belief and practice of Judaism that is based on the inclusion of the entire Torah , Tanakh , Talmud , and all the rabbinic authorities that followed as sources of conducting oneself in life, and on the premise that the Torah emanates directly from God as revealed at Mount Sinai . The concept of a Sinaitic covenant is further expressed through such Hebrew language Hebrew phrases as Torah min ha Shamayim Torah from Heaven sky Torat Hashem Torah of God Torah mi Sinai Torah from Sinai Kedushat HaTorah Holiness of Torah Torat Hashem temimah Torah of God is pure complete Matan Torah giving the Torah Kabbalat HaTorah receiving acceptance of Torah Na aseh ve nishmah we shall do and we shall hear The term Torah Judaism is a reaction to the perceived inappropriateness in the meaning of Orthodox from Greek, correct opinion , as well as a conscious intent to label non Orthodox Jewish movements as being divorced from the Torah.

Cleanup date March 2008 Eras of the Halakha The Talmudic Academies in the Land of Israel were Yeshiva yeshivot that served as centers for Jew ish scholarship and the development of Jewish law in the Levant and had a great and lasting impact on the development of world Jewry. According to an oft quoted tradition of Hoshayah , a collector of traditions of the tannaim , who lived in Caesarea Maritima Caesarea in the first half of the third century , there existed in Jerusalem 480 synagogue s, all of which were destroyed with the Temple of Jerusalem Temple . Each of these synagogues was provided with a school for Tanakh Biblical instruction, as well as one for instruction in the Oral Torah oral law . Besides these schools of the lower and middle grades mentioned by the tradition which is not to be too readily discredited, though it may have exaggerated their number for the sake of a good round figure , there existed in Jerusalem a sort of university or academy an institution composed of the scribes sages and teachers , whose pupils, having out grown the schools, gathered around them for further instruction and were called, therefore, talmidei hakhamim disciples of the wise . There is, however, no certain information as to the organization of this institute, or of the relation in which it stood to the Great Sanhedrin , whose Pharisee members certainly belonged to it. The most important details of its activity are afforded by the accounts concerning the schools houses of Hillel the Elder Hillel and Shammai , whose controversies and debates belong to the last century of the period of the Second Temple , and relate not only to the Halakhah , but also to questions of Biblical exegesis and religious philosophy . For example, it is said that the schools of Shammai and Hillel occupied two and a half years in discussing the question whether it had been better for man not to have been created. ref Eruvin 13b. ref Council of Jamnia main Council of Jamnia The Roman destruction of J ... more details

The Talmud has two components the Mishnah c. 200 Common Era CE , the first written compendium of Judaism s Oral Law and the Gemara c. 500 CE , a discussion of the Mishnah and related Tannaim Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Tanakh . The terms Talmud and Gemara are often used interchangeably. The Gemara is the basis for all codes of Halakha rabbinic law and is much quoted in other rabbinic literature .
