Ep. 86 Understanding The Structure Of Torah: The Written And Oral Law
Listen now
Description
The Torah is broken up into many different sections and parts. The primary two being the written law (Torah She'bichsav) and the oral law (Torah She'ba'al Peh).   In today's episode I lay out the general structure of the Torah and show how all the sections are interconnected.   I also cover topics such as: 1) How could the oral law have been written down? 2) Was every prophecy received included in Prophets? 3) What's the difference between Torah, Prophets and Writings? 4) Why did God give both a written and oral Torah?
