Jewish law is called halacha, a word that means "the way." Halacha is based on the 613 commandments found in the Torah, as understood through the lens of commentaries that tradition considers to have been passed down from Moses at Mount Sinai. The commentaries were collected into the Mishnah and Gemara, which together make up the Talmud, and further elaborated on by rabbinic attempts to distill well organized law codes from this material, plus continuing discussions called the responsa literature that continues to this day.
