My class reading and lecture last week were on the Jewish foundational texts other than the Bible, i.e. the Talmud, commentaries on the Talmud, Midrash, and Responsa. So here is my summary of what I’ve learned:. The basis of Judaism is scholarly debate and having multiple interpretations of every aspect of the law, the Torah, and other sacred texts.
