The Mishnah is a compilation of the teachings of the Tannaim and oral Torah traditions, which was edited by Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. The Mishnah is one of the central components of the oral Torah, and it is divided into six orders: Zeraim, Moed, Nashim, Nezikin, Kodshim, and Taharos.
Spiritual Significance[edit | edit source]
In Pri Etz Chaim, it is explained that Kabbalah exists in the world of Atzilus, Talmud in the world of Briah, Mishnah in the world of Yetzirah, and Mikra in the world of Asiyah. It is explained that Kabbalah, which is in the world of Atzilus, its essence cannot be grasped, unlike Mishnah and Talmud which are in the worlds of Yetzirah and Briah, whose essence can be grasped. It is also explained that specifically Mikra descended to the world of Asiyah, as the main aspect of Mikra is the Five Books of Torah written with ink on physical parchment in the physical world.
The Six Orders of Mishnah[edit | edit source]
The Mishnah is divided into six orders: Zeraim, Moed, Nashim, Nezikin, Kodshim, and Taharos. It is explained that the Menorah corresponds to the Torah, and it is divided corresponding to the Written Torah and Oral Torah. The central branch corresponds to the Written Torah, and the six branches extending from it correspond to the six orders of Mishnah, which are the main component of the Oral Torah.
Learning Mishnah By Heart[edit | edit source]
In HaYom Yom, it states: "One should learn Mishnayos by heart, each person according to their capacity, and walk in the street reviewing Mishnayos. Through this, they will merit to greet Moshiach."
