Gemara

(From Aramaic: “to study”)

Is part of the Talmud (collective essay contains the writing of rabbinic discussions on matters pertain Jewish law, ethics, philosophy, customs and history) that mainly focuses on elucidating and elaborating the opinions of the Tannaim – Jewish scholars from the first and second century. The Gemara in the Bavli Talmud is written in Mishnaic Hebrew (also called Late Rabbinic Hebrew) while the commentaries are in Babylonian Aramaic (very profound and difficult to grasp).
