Did you read the Torah?
q_q_:
that was the main one.
The One and Only Mo:
by Torah you mean the Written Law? Because you can't learn the Written without the Oral and vice versa.

One can read the written Torah without learning the Oral law. It is advisable for a Jew to learn the Oral Torah because it explains a lot of the ideas of the written Torah. It is well known that ideas such as tefillin and mezuza are not fully explained in the written Torah, only mentioned briefly. Torah is composed of more than just the Five Books {Chumash}. Torah includes all Jewish teaching which includes the entire canon of Jewish scripture.
Tanakh is the term used to describe the Torah, Naviim {Prophets} and Ketuvim {Writings}. Even though we call the Oral law Oral, much of it has been written and we call it the Mishna, the Gemmorah, and the Talmud.

Dont you ever go to Shul for Shabbat? Every week we read a Parasha of Torah. It is part of the yearly cycle. This Shabbat we are reading the second Parasha of Shemot {Exodus}. Every New Year {Rosh Hashana} we finish the Torah and begin again at Beresheis.<snip>

a few mistakes there.

It is not that we start Beresheis right after Rosh Hashanah, after Simchah Torah. I meant to say that we finish Torah around Rosh Hashanah. I am looking at the hebrew calendar from last year and it was about 3 weeks from Rosh Hashana till Shabbat Parasha Beresheit.
That is about the only 'mistake' in my posting. If there is another please inform me.
I should have mentioned that the name of this Shabbats parasha is Vaera.

Hi Muman, please take the advise you gave me and pay no attention to that person who has an obsession of pointing out other's mistakes.
This paticular person may have delusions of granduer about his/her intelligence. In order to validate their own delusion, this person must criticise others
and make comments that are uncalled for such as : " you lowered the level of intelligent discussion. "
While this only serves to nuture the already ( over inflated ego ) it backfires and only makes the ( supposedly highly intelligent being ) appear to be harsh and insecure.
Muman, you do some excellent posting and work here on the Forum, you are appreciated by all so don't let someone make you worried about a mistake.
We all make mistakes...except for ( those highly intelligent beings ) that never make them.
Shalom - Dox

Shalom Dox,
Thank you very much for the words of encouragement. In this case I understand q_q_s attempt to correct me. When I try to explain Judaism to others who have not been exposed to the beliefs I take a great responsibility in my hands. If I explain things wrongly then I may lead others to transgress and therefore their sin is on me. I try hard to be as accurate as I can and in the case that q_q just corrected me I admit I made a mistake.
I believe that everyone here has good intentions. I do not mind people who disagree with me and even correct me when I say something wrong. It is wrong to be rude and unkind to people who are searching for the truth. I believe that everyone can change for the better and I have observed people here at JTF alter their approaches to issues in a good way.
