Torah
The
Torah (; , "Instruction, Teaching"), or the
Pentateuch , is the central reference of the
religious Judaic tradition. It has a range of meanings. It can most specifically mean the first five books of the twenty-four books of the
Tanakh, and it usually includes the
rabbinic commentaries. The term Torah means instruction and offers a way of life for those who follow it; it can mean the continued narrative from
Genesis to the end of the Tanakh, and it can even mean the totality of Jewish teaching, culture and practice. Common to all these meanings, Torah consists of the
foundational narrative of the
Jews: their call into being by
God, their trials and tribulations, and
their covenant with their God, which involves following a way of life embodied in a set of moral and religious obligations and civil laws (
halakha).
