 * __Unit 1 - Intro to Oral Torah__**
 * __What is Mishnah__**

From the story of the convert coming to Hillel and Shammai we learn that both the Written Torah and the Oral Torah are needed to have a real understanding of Judaism and the commandments.

Hillel proved his point by showing the convert that without the oral Torah, he couldn't even know the aleph bet.
