#36: What is Talmud?

The Talmud, or how it is often called, “Gemara”, is an ancient set of books written as commentary and elaboration of Mishnah. Despite being 1500 years old, the Talmud is still studied today by millions of people worldwide. In this podcast we get educated in what exactly the Talmud is? Why are there two versions of Talmud, the Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmud? What are the differences between the two? What role does it play in the development and canonization of Oral Torah? How exactly does the Talmud elaborate upon the Mishnah?
