There are two aspects of Jewish law.

The first are the mitzvot, which are found in the Torah. The mitzvot are the core guidelines, not laws, that form the basis of how Jews are meant to live righteously.

The second aspect is halacha, halachot (pl) are the actual laws of Judaism and are found in the Talmud. Halacha explains how to implement the mitzvot found in the Torah.
