- Tosefta
- Another collection of oral laws parallel to the
Mishnah. The Tosefta (literally supplement) is just a
further extension of the discussions.

- Gemara
- The Gemara (meaning completion) is a large work
that developed after the rabbis found they needed to
add some rules or adapt them to fit with the changing
life and to be able to help the younger generation
understand the Torah. These issues led to even more
oral Torah (laws/decisions) known as the Gemara.

- Talmud
- The Talmud is the complete oral Torah (Mishnah and
Gemara). It contains two and a half million words and took
800 years to write. The Talmud is based on the Mishnah, a
basic outline of the Oral Law in Judah haNasi's time.
There are two forms of the Talmud.
- Palestinian Talmud- Written in Western
Aramaic. Complies of 3 major academies
of Caesarea, Tiberias and Sepphoris.
- Babylonian Talmud- Written in Eastern Aramaic, Similar to the
Palestinian Talmud in that work of Mishnah and Gemara are
compiled. Completed 6th century and is four times longer that the
Palestinian Talmud. It also a broader range (more developed and
comprehensive.) The main study of the Babylonian academies and
it spread through the Jewish world. Written 150 years after the
Palestinian Talmud however it's seen as more authoritative.

- Mishnah
- Codes
- The Codes are to codify or organise the laws contained in the oral
Torah logically and relevantly for a set time, people and place/social
circumstance. The great size and complexity of the Talmud's meant
they weren't accessible to ordinary people. Various scholars 'codified
(organized and summarized) them. Most famously Maimonides in his
Mishneh Torah. Some of the most famous codes of laws are below.
- *Mishneh Torah: Written by Maimonides in 1167. Like a guidebook to the Oral Torah.
*Shulchan Aruch: (Literally 'Prepared Table') written by Rabbi Joseph Caro in 1500s.
*Moses Isserles: Added notes to Shulchan Aruch. This is a more accepted version for
Sephardi Jews.

- Responsa
- Responses (responsa) of the rabbis in the Academies of Palestine and
Babylon to questions about Jewish law, which were sent to Jewish
communities everywhere. The queries (gaonim) were sent after the
dispersion of the Jews. The responsa has grown to include thousands
of decisions. The questions and responses provides a means for the
continual updating of the law so the modern answers to new and
sometimes old questions are constantly being made available. E.g how
inhabitant of the moon will observe Shabbat.

- The Written Torah
- Refers to the first five books of the bible
(PENTATEUCH).
- Some people extent the term Torah to include all
books of the written Hebrew Scriptures (the
TENAKH) which includes the NEVLIM and KETUVIN.
