Defining Torah

It is said that the Angels thought that the Men of the planet could never comprehend Torah or have its privileges and ordinances.  They complained to our Creator in the beginning of time that the fact that G-d gave mankind Torah, it would destroy the Torah and destroy the life of the G-dly word and intelligence.

What is Torah?

To most people, thinking of Torah invokes the interests and knowledge from the first 5 books of Moses.
This is what is written on the Torah Scrolls.  This must be torah as the people are mostly concerned.  Right?

Actually the 5 books of Moses are Torah, but they do not contain the entirety of Torah at all.

Torah is also oral and that is the oral torah.

But lets take it further.

Torah is a license to understand, decypher and exist in a spiritual and mystical universe.

G-d gave man the ability to exist as the angels exist.

Thus if you have Torah, you can convene with the ones who formulate the future and change the world.

This is why every jew is afforded the opportunity as a man to become one with G-d and one with the Universe. 

We put on tefillin, we have hebrew, we have the books of our Torah as well as the bible which are all Torah through and through.

Basically anything that exists as Truth is Torah.

So therefore, when we look at people such as Joseph in the Book of Genesis, Joseph had Torah.

The fact is that at Mount Sinai, G-d made Torah accessable to the everyday jew.

Torah is not limited to just the holy of the holiest individuals.  It is a paradigm for the jewish people and a paradigm for religious interests and undertakings for all of the world, though its mastery and direct provisions can only be attained by a Jewish soul.
