What does TORAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
In Judaism, the compilation of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, traditionally attributed to Moses, forming the foundation of Jewish law and practice; more broadly, the entire body of Jewish religious teaching and study.
A Torah scroll, handwritten on parchment according to strict rules, is kept in the ark of a synagogue and read aloud in portions during services throughout the year, so that the full text is completed and begun again annually. In its narrower sense, torah names the five books running from Genesis through Deuteronomy, but Jewish tradition also uses the word far more broadly to cover the whole of religious instruction, including later commentary and oral teaching passed down alongside the written text. Observant Jews often speak of studying torah as a lifelong practice rather than a single act of reading, treating the text as a source of both law and guidance for daily conduct. English writers commonly capitalize the word as Torah when referring to the specific scripture, while lowercase torah sometimes appears in broader discussions of Jewish teaching generally.
