Detailed explanation-1: -The most prominent meaning for Jews is that the Torah constitutes the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (also called the Pentateuch, ‘five books’ in Greek), traditionally thought to have been composed by Moses . These sacred texts are written on a scroll and kept in a synagogue.
Detailed explanation-2: -The meaning of “Torah” is often restricted to signify the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), also called the Law (or the Pentateuch, in Christianity).
Detailed explanation-3: -In most congregations, the oleh does not himself read the Torah aloud. Rather, he stands near it while a practiced expert, called a ba’al keri’ah ("one in charge of reading"; sometimes ba’al kore), reads the Torah, with cantillation, for the congregation.
