Home > Jerusalem Talmud

The Jerusalem Talmud (In Hebrew Talmud Yerushalmi, in short known as the Yerushalmi), also known as the Palestinian Talmud, (not related to current "Palestinian" issues at all!), was composed in the Land of Israel some two centuries before the Babylonian Talmud, (which is known as the Talmud Bavli or simply the Bavli in Hebrew).

It is more abstruse in language and it differs from the Babylonian Talmud in language (being written in Western, rather than Eastern Aramaic), style, legal argumentation, and scope. It often appears as commentary on different parts of the Mishnah than does the Babylonian Talmud. It has a greater focus on the Land of Israel and the Torah's agricultural laws pertaining to the land.

With the return of the Jews to the land of Israel in modern times, the Jerusalem Talmud has taken on greater relevance and popularity with Talmudical and rabbinical scholars and is being studied by increasing numbers of scholars within the world of Orthodox Judaism.

The Babylonian Talmud is traditionally studied more widely and has had greater influence on the halakhic tradition than the Jerusalem Talmud.
