An alternate spelling or transliteration of 'Torah,' the Jewish scripture consisting of the Five Books of Moses, or referring to religious law and teaching.
From Hebrew 'Torah,' meaning 'teaching' or 'law' (from the root meaning 'to throw' or 'instruct'). This specific spelling 'Tora' is a transliteration variation used in some languages and contexts.
The Torah is the foundation of Judaism and its stories—Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, the Ten Commandments—have influenced Western law and culture so deeply that even non-religious people know them!
