Terms and the like

Just thought it might make more sense to have them in one place than defining them throughout...


Shacharit, Mincha, Maariv -- morning, afternoon, evening prayers
Daven -- pray
Machshavah -- (Jewish) thought/philosophy
Shiur -- lesson
Tanach -- (TaNaCH) Torah, Nevi'im, Ctuvim; Pentatuech, Prophets, Writings aka Jewish Bible)
Talmud -- Mishna (~200 CE, codified by Yehuda haNasi) and Gemara (~400 CE), oral Torah, written down
