What does TORA mean in Scrabble?
noun
The scroll of the Jewish law, in one of its accepted spellings.
English has never settled on a single way to write the word: torah, tora and thorah all appear in print, and none of them is wrong. Whichever is used, the tora is handwritten on parchment rather than printed, and one mistaken letter puts the whole roll out of use until a scribe repairs it.

Countable: a tora, two toras. Capitalised when it names the scroll itself rather than the teaching.
- The tora is read from a scroll, not from a book.
