Footnote 6 – Babatha’s Story

The Talmud is the record of Jewish law consisting of the Mishnah and the Gemara (a commentary on and supplement to the Mishnah). There are two Talmuds—the Babylonian Talmud and the Palestinian (or Jerusalem) Talmud. Originally transmitted as oral law, both Talmuds were written down between 200 and 500 C.E.
