As a way of life, Judaism is based on… theTorah (“Written Law”) Talmud (“Oral Law”) – commentary of ancient rabbis that elaborates on how to apply God’s Law in everyday life through: Dietary rules (Kosher) Dress and other symbols Prayer and devotion to the one God Observance of Holy days Proper social relations between male and female, in business, judicial rulings, etc.
