Oral law (Heb.,
torah she-beʿal-peh). The (in origin) orally transmitted interpretation of the Jewish written
law. According to the
rabbis, there are two parts of
Torah ‘one written and one oral’ (
ARN 15. 61). Traditionally both Torahs were given to
Moses on Mount
Sinai. Oral Torah was studied in the
academies and eventually collected together and written down by
Judah ha-Nasi in the 2nd cent. CE (see
MISHNAH). Subsequently, commentary and interpretation of the Mishnah were recorded in the
Talmud (6th cent.). In the modern era, the
Progressive movements have largely rejected the belief in the divine origin of Jewish law and are therefore ready to disregard any
halakhic provisions which conflict with modern secular values.
