Torah
What is it?
Traditionally, this refers to the Five Books of Moses (Pentateuch). The individual books describe the creation of the world, the earliest history of the Jews, dietary and hygienic regulations, as well as law and rules of everyday life. According to tradition, its author is Moses, except for the last few verses that describe his own death. Today, it is a book that is read at every service, and its reading takes (according to regulations) a year. It is divided into as many sections as there are Sabbaths in a year, and each Sabbath, one specific part is read.
What does the Torah look like?
While you can easily read the Five Books of Moses in book form, dealing with the entire Torah is somewhat more complicated. It is a scroll of parchment that should be placed in every synagogue and ideally should be removed from its case every Sabbath and read from. A Yad, a pointer, is used for reading from the Torah, which prevents the scroll from being touched by hand. Torahs are spread by transcription by specially trained scribes, whose work is very demanding and responsible.
Why the Torah?
It is one of the most important books of Judaism, and according to scholars, all necessary education can be found in the text. The symbol of the Torah appears in various forms during many holidays, most notably during the celebrations of Simchat Torah.
