The Torah is the Hebrew Bible. Like the Christian Bible, the Torah can be read and studied at anytime. In synagogues, it is most commonly used during Shabbat morning prayer services in which a section of the Torah is read every week.

Yes, a Jew can travel on Simchat Torah, which is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the completion of the annual Torah reading cycle.

Is a Torah Jew an Orthodox Jew?

It depends on how the term is meant. "Torah Jews" can mean more than one thing. If the definition is: Those who live the laws of the Torah (which is the way the phrase "Torah Jews" is usually used), then it is understandably common to reserve that description for observant Jews. It is indeed customary today to call observant Jews "Torah Jews"; so the answer to the question is Yes. The word "Orthodox" is seen by many Torah Jews to be an exonym, i.e. a term applied to them by non-Orthodox, whereas they prefer the term "Torah Jews". If the definition is: Who is Jewish according to the Torah, then Torah Jews would include non-observant Jews, because they don't cease being Jewish. All Jews, regardless of levels of observance are "Torah Jews" since their Jewishness is derived from the Torah's mandates.


Why would celebrating Passover will affect the faith of a Jew?

Pesach (Passover) is one of the underpinnings of the Torah. Many mitzvos (commands) are to remember the Exodus (which Pesach celebrates). Celebrating Pesach binds a Jew to his/her entire 3300-year tradition and to the Creator.
