In Judaism, the Torah is seen as the "Law" and the foundation of the faith.

It consists of the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

In a Synagogue, the scrolls are kept in a special cupboard called the Ark, facing towards Jerusalem. Every week, a portion of the Torah is read aloud so that the entire scroll is finished over the course of a year.

Following the mitzvot (commandments) found in the Torah is how Jewish people show their commitment to God and their community.
