Likewise, Jews own Torah which was revealed to the prophet Moses. In addition, there are also other books that they believe in the life of Jews. This study aimed to determine the definition, meaning, and classification of Torah according to Judaism. Accordingly, this study used a descriptive analysis method through a qualitative approach with literature studies to sufficiently understand the intended research purpose. This study concluded that Torah is Jews guideline of life, containing divine laws taught to Moses and transmitted to further generations. Torah, in detail, encompasses five books: Bereshit, Shemot, Vayiqra, Bemidbar, and Devarim.
