Best Answer

The Talmud has served for over 1000 years as the central text used in training Rabbis, and as the primary document for understanding traditional Jewish law and for understanding the traditional Jewish understanding of the Torah. The Talmud records dissenting opinions and does not always record which opinion was accepted, for this, later law codes and commentaries are necessary.
