Do the Jews practice religion through Torah?
The Torah is the holy Jewish text, given by G-d to the Jews at Mt Sinai. There, millions of Jews heard G-d speak. This national revelation was the 'official' start of the Jewish religion. The Torah is the five books of Moses. Jews read it and study it usually in the original Hebrew. As we believe it is the actual word of G-d, we revere the Torah; it appears in scroll form in every single Synagogue. The Scrolls are handwritten by scribes, and if even one error occurs, the entire scroll has to be discarded. Also, we are not allowed to alter the Torah by even ONE letter. This has ensured that the text has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The Torah contains a lot; it's a sort of instruction book for life. Also, it is full of the history of the Jewish people. But the Torah is not a literal book that can be read and understood at face value. Rather, it can be interpeted on many different levels, and Jewish students spend entire weeks in Yeshiva analysing and debating a single line of text! So yes, the Torah is central to Judaism, and it forms part of the TANAKH, which is the collected Jewish scriptures; Torah, Prophets, Writings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why are damaged Torah-scrolls buried?
If the damage is confined to one relatively small area, then that piece can be removed and either repaired or replaced. If the damage is spread throughout a large part of the scroll, such as the result of flood or fire damage, then the entire scroll is retired. In either case, the damaged section or scroll are buried, in a Jewish cemetary. Also in either case, a Torah with any fault, damage, or blemish may not be used for the public reading during the synagogue service, even if the damaged part is far from the portion being read. Any reading from any part of the text requires a completely perfect scroll.
