The Talmud is a collection of the debates regarding Jewish laws among the
foremost leaders and scholars of its time.
Today, in 2014, there are more people studying the Talmud than there have
been at any previous moment in the history of the Jews or of anyone else.
The minority of them are rabbis.
The average doctor, mechanic, engineer, lawyer, housewife, salesman, student,
musician, journalist, or anyone else presently studying the Talmud on a regular,
typically daily, basis, will typically give you a reason for his study that falls into
two broad categories: #1). to learn more of what Judaism is all about;
#2). to learn, period, so as to keep their brains functioning effectively.

Why is the Jerusalem Talmud significant?
Not many people are aware that there are two Talmuds: the Babylonian Talmud and the Jerusalem Talmud. When we speak of and quote the Talmud, we almost always are referring to the Babylonian Talmud, which is simply called "The Talmud." The Jerusalem Talmud is a separate work, which includes teachings of the Torah-sages of the land of Israel (Palestine) of the 3rd to 5th centuries CE. Its significance is that: 1) It includes many Torah-sayings that are not repeated in the "regular" Talmud, which are valuable in their own right; and 2) Whenever the Jerusalem Talmud states a decision or clarification in Torah-law that is not contradicted by the Babylonian Talmud, its decision is part of Jewish law.
