Tosefta

The Tosefta is a collection of rabbinic teachings that supplements the Mishnah, offering additional interpretations and discussions of Jewish law.

It provides valuable insights into the development of rabbinic jurisprudence and the evolution of Jewish legal thought.

The Tosefta is organized similarly to the Mishnah, reflecting the structure of the oral law.

It is an important source for understanding the context and background of the Mishnah and the Talmud.

Scholars use the Tosefta to reconstruct the history of rabbinic discussions and to gain a deeper understanding of the legal and theological debates of the period.
