“The term Torah, signifying guidance and instruction, is primarily applied to the Five Books of Moses and Pentateuch; also, to the whole body of Judaism's religious-ethical literature. The inaccurate rendering of Torah by Law has all along been a barrier, preventing non-Jews from understanding the ideal which is summed up in the term Talmud Torah, study of Torah, characterized in Jewish tradition as excelling all things. Indeed, Torah comprises every field of Jewish culture – ethics, justice, religion, education.”¹
