Sifra

Sifra (Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: סִפְרָא, romanized: sip̄rā, lit.'document') is the Midrash halakha to the Book of Leviticus. It is frequently quoted in the Talmud and the study of it followed that of the Mishnah.[a] Like Leviticus itself, the midrash is occasionally called Torat Kohanim,[1] and in two passages Sifra debbe Rav.[2]
