  • You might be thinking of Karaites, which is a split from Rabbinical Judaism and they only think the Torah is valid and not the Talmud.

    Karaites are a SUPER small religion worldwide, off the top of my head I’d say probably a couple thousand people. (Edit: more then I thought I guess, Wikipedia says 50k max)

    The Haredi are definitely rabbinical Jews like 99% of jews worldwide and Talmud is extremely important.

    Like important to the point where they dont even work a job, their wives work so they can study their entire life. But yeah “studying Torah” is just a shorthand for Torah + Talmud study.
