Category: Oral Law

This series of classes on the Oral Law offers listeners a selection of engaging classes on Mishnayot and Gemara ranging from introductory to advanced levels. The Oral Law was transmitted in an uninterrupted chain from generation to generation until it was written down by Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi who compiled the Mishna between 200-220 CE. The Gemara compiled by the Amoraim between the years 350-500 CE serves as a running commentary on the Mishna encompassing a range of complex debates and laws covering interpersonal relationships, dietary laws, civil claims and damages, Shabbat and holiday observances, and sacrificial practices.
