Talmud Torah schools were created in the Jewish world, both
Ashkenazic and
Sephardic, as a form of public primary
school for boys of modest backgrounds, where they were given an elementary education in
Hebrew, the
Scriptures (especially the
Pentateuch), and the
Talmud (and
Halakhah). This was meant to prepare them for
Yeshiva or, particularly in the movement's modern form, for Jewish education at a high school level. The Talmud Torah was modelled after the
Cheder, a traditional form of schooling whose essential elements it incorporated, with changes appropriate to its public form rather than the heder's "private" financing through less formal or institutionalized mechanisms, including tuition fees and donations.
