Major worksTalmud (Babylonian and Jerusalem)
The vast compilation of rabbinic law, debate, and lore that grew up around the Mishnah, surviving in two versions produced in the academies of Babylonia and the land of Israel. Sprawling, dialectical, and endlessly discursive, it became the central text of rabbinic Judaism and the wellspring of Jewish law, ethics, and study for all the centuries since.
