ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Torah Umadda

Okay kiddo, so let’s start with the Torah. The Torah is a very important religious text for Jewish people. It's like a guidebook that shows them how to live a good life and how to treat each other.

Now let's talk about Madda. Madda means knowledge or science in Hebrew. It’s important for people to learn new things and understand the world around them.

So when we put Torah and Madda together, we get Torah U’Madda which means “Torah and knowledge”. It’s a concept that started in the Jewish community which means to combine traditional Jewish values with education and knowledge in areas like science, math, and literature.

This concept helps people to learn about the world around them and use their education to serve their community and make the world a better place. By understanding and applying both Torah and Madda, people can live a happy and meaningful life, while also making a positive impact on the world around them.
