Gemora Means completion. It was compiled by the generation of Jewish scholars called the
Amoraim between A.D. 200 and A.D. 400. Unlike the Mishnah, which was written in
Hebrew, Gemora is written in Aramaic with a mixture of Hebrew. It is an enormous
amplification of the Mishnah carried out by scholars in Babylon and Palestine. The
combination of Mishnah and Gemora is called the Talmud. All total, there are 5,894 folio
pages printed in 12 large volumes, the pagination of which is kept uniform in all editions.
Of the 63 tractates of Mishnah, 36 are included and interpreted in the Babylonian
Talmud. A separate Jerusalem Talmud was also published, this one dealing far more
extensively with the rules and regulations of living in Eretz Yisrael, the land of Israel.

The Word of God.Hades Translated as Hell in most places in the Bible. A more accurate translation would be ―a
compartment in the underworld‖. The English Bible and other translations sometimes
use the word ̳hell‘ for ̳hades‘, and at times ̳hell‘ is also used for the ̳bottomless pit‘ or
̳tartarus‘. This is very misleading and causes the student to be confused, and it does not
give the reader an accurate and true picture of the underworld.

Hillel and
Shammai
These two great scholars , born a generation or two before the beginning of the
Common Era and are usually discussed together and contrasted with each other,
because they were contemporaries and the leaders of two opposing schools of thought
(known as "houses"). The Talmud records over 300 differences of opinion between Beit
Hillel (the House of Hillel) and Beit Shammai (the House of Shammai). In almost every
one of these disputes, Hillel's view prevailed. Rabbi Hillel was born to a wealthy family in
Babylonia, but came to Jerusalem without the financial support of his family and
supported himself as a woodcutter. It is said that he lived in such great poverty that he
was sometimes unable to pay the admission fee to study Torah, and because of him that
fee was abolished. He was known for his kindness, his gentleness, and his concern for
humanity. One of his most famous sayings is "If I am not for myself, then who will be for
me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?" Rabbi Shammai
was an engineer, known for the strictness of his views. The Talmud tells that a Gentile
came to Shammai saying that he would convert to Judaism if Shammai could teach him
the whole Torah in the time that he could stand on one foot. Shammai drove him away
with a builder's measuring stick! Hillel, on the other hand, converted the Gentile by telling
