Rabbi's reading
Answer:
TORAH
Hint:
This sacred text contains the five books of Moses and is central to Jewish law and tradition, often read from a handwritten scroll.
Explanation:
"Rabbi's reading" points to the Torah, the central religious text in Judaism that rabbis study and teach. The clue plays on the idea of what a rabbi would naturally read or reference—like a priest with the Bible or an imam with the Quran. It’s a straightforward definition without wordplay, relying on the cultural association between rabbis and their sacred scripture.
