==Printed Torah (''Chumash'')== {{unreferenced section|date=September 2021}} A printed version of the Torah is known colloquially as a [[Chumash (Judaism)|Chumash]] (plural ''Chumashim''). Although strictly speaking it is known as Chamishah Chumshei Torah (Five "Fifths" of Torah). They are treated as respected texts, but not anywhere near the level of sacredness accorded a Torah scroll, which is often a major possession of a Jewish community. A ''chumash'' contains the Torah and other writings, usually organised for liturgical use, and sometimes accompanied by some of the main classic commentaries.
