  6. Why the Mishna? • Fearing that the oral traditions might be forgotten, Yehudah Ha-Nasiundertook the mission of compiling them in what became known as the Mishna.

  7. What is the mishna? • Hebrew:משנה, "repetition", from the verb shanahשנה, or "to study and review", also "secondary” • First part of the Oral Torah • The Mishnah teaches the oral traditions by example • It brings to everyday reality the practice of the mitzvot as presented in the Torah which was much needed at the time when the Second Temple was destroyed (70 C.E) • Aims to cover all aspects of human living • The Mishnah does not claim to be the development of new laws, but rather the collection of existing traditions.

  8. What does the mishnah consist of? • The Mishnah consists of six orders (sedarim, singular sederסדר) • Each containing 7–12 sections, 63 in total • Further subdivided into chapters and verses.

  9. The orders and their subjects are:  • Zeraim ("Seeds"): dealing with prayer, blessings, and agricultural laws • Moed ("Festival"): pertaining to the laws of the Sabbath and the Festivals • Nashim("Women"): concerning marriage and divorce • Nezikin ("Damages"): dealing with civil and criminal law, the functioning of the courts and oaths • Kodashim ("Holy things"): regarding sacrificial rites, the Temple, and the dietary laws • Tehorot ("Purities"): pertaining to the laws of purity and impurity, including the impurity of the dead, the laws of food purity and bodily purity
