书籍介绍

The Torah is both the most sacred object and the most sacred text in Judaism. It consists of the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus,Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The word “Torah” comes from the same root as the Hebrew word hora’ah (hoe-rah-ah), which means “instruction” or“teaching.” The Torah’s purpose, simply stated, is to provide people with instructions for finding and following the path of God and the path to God.Although the words in the Torah, which is also known as the Five Books of Moses, consists of exactly 304,805 letters, the great sages of Jewish tradition teach that all the wisdom in the universe is hidden within these letters. Jewish tradition looks carefully at these letters and at the words they form, and great sages throughout history have provided — and continue to provide — the proper instruction for analyzing the Torah text and revealing its divine messages.
