Rav, the Tanakh (Hebrew acronym for Bible, from Torah (the first five books), Nevi'im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings)) or Bible (Old Testament to Christians) is the holy book of Judaism.  The Talmud  (sometimes called Gemara)  consists of sixty-three books of legal, ethical, spiritual, theological, ritual, and historical insight.  It is the primary record of rabinic discussion from the fifth to seventh centure of the Current Era.  (Abbreviated C.E.)  It is a major source of study for Orthodox and Conservative Rabbis,  and Orthodox Jewish religious law is largely based on decisions in the Talmud. The Midrash, composed at approximately the same time, has several commentaries on the Bible.(Most faiths do have their own body of literature.  Touching on gaming briefly, I imagine that in most fantasy worlds each faith would have their own attendant body of literature.)I would love a d20 kippah.  (I have seen Chicago Bulls kippahs, by the way.)Shalom aleichem  (Loosely translated "Peace unto you.")</blockquote>
