The word "torah" means "a teaching". The Torah is HaShem’s (God's) teaching to the Jewish people. In the Torah HaShem tells us how to live. The Torah has many mitzvos (commandments) in it. They are HaShem’s instructions to us. The Torah also contains stories. These stories are true and teach us about our history and our relationship with HaShem.
