The Talmud is an encyclopedia of the collected wisdom of the Jewish people. It began as the Mishnah, a commentary on the Torah, but in the wake of the diaspora, it became a collection of everything Jewish, from law and scripture, to tradition and ritual. The Babylonian Talmud had 2711 pages. This is volume one with questions from each page of the Talmud. http://www.amazon.com/2711-Questions-Talmud-vol-Judaism/dp/1484833988/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455723693&sr=8-1&keywords=2711+Questions+of+the+Talmud The I Ching is the ancient Chinese text, which is at the heart of Confucianism.

Jews, Christians, and Moslems commonly point to the Ten Commandments as a starting point. Jewish tradition also refers to the 613 Mitzvot, the commandments of the Torah. While most are rooted in the Ten Commandments, these laws are much more specific. Some commandments, such as Honor the Sabbath, are expressed as affirmations. Some, such as don’t eat pork, are expressed as prohibitions. Some are no longer possible since they refer to the ancient Temple.
