Beraita (also Baraitha. Aramaic ברייתא: external, outside; pl. Beraitot) designates a tradition in the Jewish oral law not incorporated in the Mishnah. "Beraita" thus refers to teachings "outside" of the six orders of the Mishnah. Originally, "Beraita" probably referred to teachings from schools outside of the main Mishnaic-era academies - although in later collections, individual Beraitot are often authored by sages of the Mishna (Tannaim). Aramaic is a Semitic language with a 3,000-year history. ...

Because the Mishnah encapsulates the entire Oral Law in a purposefully compact form (designed to necessitate oral transmission), many variant versions, additional explanations, clarifications and rulings were not included in the Mishnah. These were later compiled in works called the "Beraitot"- often in the form of a list of teachings by one sage. Beraita can thus also designate collections of such traditions. The main collections of Beraita are the Tosefta, and the Halakhic Midrashim (Mekhilta, Sifra and Sifre). The Mishnah (Hebrew ×ž×©× ×”, repetition) is a major source of rabbinic Judaisms religious texts. ...

The authority of the Beraita is somewhat less than that of the Mishnah. Nevertheless, these works are the basic "proof-text" cross-referenced by the Talmudic sages in their analysis and interpretation of the Mishna; See Gemara. Here, a teaching from the Beraita is usually introduced by the Aramaic word "Tanya" ("It was orally taught") or by "Tanu Rabanan" ("Our Rabbis have orally taught"), whereas "Tnan" ("We have orally taught") introduces quotations from the Mishnah. Anonymous Beraitot are often attributed to particular Tannaim by the Talmud. In the Jerusalem Talmud, the word "Beraita" rarely occurs.

The style of the Beraita is basically indistinguishable from that of the Mishna, but some come closer to Mishnaic idiom than others. For example, the second chapter of Kallah Rabbathi, a beraita compilation, is often appended to Pirkei Avoth, as both are similar in style and content. Pirkei Avoth (Hebrew: Chapters of the Fathers, פרקי אבות ) or simply Avoth is a tractate of the Mishna composed of ethical maxims of the Rabbis of the Mishnaic period. ...
