<p>The Mishna is the first written compilation of the oral law, which was passed down orally from generation to generation. While the written Torah contains the commandments and stories of the Jewish nation, the Mishna preserves the oral traditions and interpretations of the law.

<p>The Tanaim were a group of Rabbis who lived during the time of the Mishna. Rabbi Judah was one of the last Tanaim. He decided to write down some of the oral law because the Jewish people were spreading further apart after the Roman conquest of Israel, leading to the oral law being forgotten. By writing it down, Rabbi Judah sought to preserve and codify the oral traditions for future generations.</p> Signup and view all the answers
