Best Answer

The Talmud explains the ten commandments and the details of Torah verses.

Answer 2:

The Talmud is a collection of rabbinical discussion, critique and insight concerning Jewish faith, law, culture, ethics, etc. It includes the Mishnah (brief laws) and Gemara (Aramaic commentary) and the minor tractates (volumes). The central pillar of the Talmud is the Mishnah (the Oral Law), which is usually printed and studied as part of the Talmud.

  • The Talmud serves to clarify the brief verses of the Torah and Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).
  • The Talmud, after the Hebrew Bible, is considered the primary text of Jewish learning.
  • The Talmud contains, in addition to Torah-matters, some mathematics, geometry and trigonometry, medicine, Astronomy, and advice on a large range of problems and situations.

What is the difference between the Persian Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds?

There is no Persian Talmud. The difference between the Talmud Bavli and Talmud Yerushalmi is that they are discussions on the identical sets of Mishna (Oral Torah) that took place in different Yeshivoth (houses of learning). The discussions in the Yerushalmi Talmud were under the leadership of Rabbi Yochanan, mostly in the third century CE in the Yeshiva in Tiberias. The discussions in the Bavli Talmud were over the course of the third to the fifth centuries CE, in the Yeshivas of Sura, Pumbeditha and other Babylonian centers of Jewry (such as Nehardea). While the wording of the discussions is different, the actual halakhot (laws) from the two Talmuds is well over 90% identical.
