Abstract
What Is The Talmud? The Talmud is a vast body of Jewish religious scholarship spanning almost eight centuries from about 300 BCE to about 500 CE. Composed by scholars living mainly in Palestine and Babylon it is essentially a codification of Jewish religious law, yet its discussions include observations on almost every aspect of human conduct.
