The Jewish Mishnah was compiled and put into written form around 200 CE by Rabbi Judah the Prince (Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi). It is a foundational text of Rabbinic Judaism, serving as the first major written collection of Jewish oral laws and traditions. The Mishnah organizes these teachings into six orders, covering various aspects of Jewish life and law. Its compilation marked a significant transition from oral to written tradition in Judaism.

Talmudic laws are those contained within the Mishnah, a written compendium of much older Jewish oral law, and the Gemara, a set of rabbinical discussions on the Mishnah laws and their applications. Mishnah laws are based on rabbinic interpretations of the Torah (Jewish bible) and seek to provide a basis for all future applications of the law. Together, the Mishnah and Gemara provide a framework and basis for all other Jewish law, known as rabbinic law, as still upheld by Beth Din Jewish courts to this day.
