What is Talmud?                                             

The Talmud is a foundational text of Rabbinic Judaism that serves as a comprehensive guide to Jewish law, ethics, customs, and history. It consists of two primary components: the Mishnah, which is a written compilation of oral laws, and the Gemara, which is a commentary on the Mishnah that includes rabbinical discussions, interpretations, and legal rulings. The Talmud is written in a dialect of Aramaic, interspersed with Hebrew, and it reflects centuries of legal and theological discourse among Jewish scholars.                                                                                                                                                 

When, Why, and Who Wrote the Talmud?                                              

The Talmud was developed over several centuries. The Mishnah was compiled around 200 CE by Rabbi Judah the Prince (Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi), who aimed to preserve oral traditions in the wake of the Second Temple's destruction in 70 CE. The Gemara followed, with the Babylonian Talmud being completed around 500 CE in Babylon (modern-day Iraq) and the Jerusalem Talmud being compiled around 400 CE in the Land of Israel. The compilation of the Talmud was crucial for maintaining Jewish identity and law during times of exile and persecution.                              

Types of Talmud Before and After Christ                      

Before Christ, the oral traditions that would later form the Mishnah and Talmud were passed down orally. After Christ, these teachings began to be systematized. The two main versions of the Talmud—the Jerusalem Talmud and the Babylonian Talmud—reflect different cultural and geographical contexts, with the Babylonian version being more widely studied and authoritative in Jewish communities.             

Significance Among Jews:                                

 The Talmud holds immense significance in Judaism as it is seen as a living document that guides Jewish law (Halakha) and daily life. It serves as a framework for understanding the Torah and interpreting Jewish traditions. Talmudic study is a central practice in Jewish education, fostering critical thinking, debate, and communal learning.                             

References to Jesus Christ and Christians in the Talmud                                                  

The Talmud contains a few references to Jesus, often critical or ambiguous. These discussions can be found in texts like the Babylonian Talmud, in sections such as Sanhedrin 107b and Gittin 57a.
