What are the teachings about the Torah and is a record of Jewish law
Both the Torah and the Talmud are important records of Jewish laws and teachings.
The Talmud.
The Tanach (Jewish Bible) which consists of: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings).The Talmud: a collection of knowledge including Jewish law
The Talmud, is not a written record of God's revelations. It's a detailed Jewish commentary on the Torah, which includes discussions, debates, stories, arguments, and derivations of Jewish law.
Torah.
Judaism still lives according to the teachings and the Law of Moses from the Jewish Torah; Islam (muslims) lives according to the teachings and laws found in the Qur'an and the ahadith (stories) about Muhammad. It is a major difference.
The Bible is the holy book of ChristianityThe Quran is the holy book of IslamThe Talmud is record of rabbinic teachings on Jewish law and customs; the holy book of Judaism is the Torah.
The Torah is the most treasured possession in Judaism as it is what forms the backbone of Judaism. Without the Torah, there would be no Judaism.
According to Halakha (Jewish Torah law) you cannot be both.
The Jewish/Hebrew Bible is called the Tanach and is made up of three sections: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings). The Christian Old Testament was based on the whole of the Tanach, however, it was thoroughly altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
The question should be "Why is only a scribe allowed to write a Torah." And the answer is that the Torah-scroll must be written according to Jewish law; otherwise it's invalid. Jewish law states that the person writing the Torah-scroll must be trained; it's this training that makes the person a scribe.
The Torah. The word "Torah" can be translated "teaching" or "law". However, actual the term for law in Judaism is 'halacha' or the plural 'halachot'. Halacha (Jewish law) is recorded in the Talmud.
The Torah is the Law and the record of the promises that God made to the children of Israel. It is a history and a lawbook.
