The difference is that Torah is theirs(is Jews'Torah), while Bible is not mine , yours, Europe's etc.The Bible is also Jews's Bible. Because New Testament is the teaching of Jesus Christ the eternal Son of the God of Israel who gave Moses this Torah..Some of the Jews are Christians today...it results Jews are very nice, kind , people, they don't put you to death if you follow Jesus Christ.
My grandmother studied Bible in the school , used to say ''Our heavenly Father''at the begining of every school day, ,and , after a long period of comunism(when Bible was prohibited in schools, because the comunists's ideology said we evolved from monkeys..although never proved , they better said we evolved of flamingo..it looks more gratious..), we can study the Bible again in schools.
As soon as they shall solve the diferences between cults , they could all study the Bible around the world, I guess.Actually besides this I wasn't told about other reasons ..why they don't study bible in schools.Even if there are atheits..they could have an optional Bible course..weakly.It would be so nice and fine..students ask a lot of questions..it would be a good way for girlschools to know the boys and the boys could know what girls think ..
By that time I guess that we should show respects to God and the saints martyrs to whom we due the existence of the Bible, and we should study in all the schools the original Bible, original Christianity and church, as an optional course, atended by those who are interested ..
People who are against studying Bible as an optional course acctually , at least the original bible church and christianity, I think they don't feel responsible for the lives of the others...but I think we are all responsible...because..a proffesor of law said that the behaviour and the wishes of society enter the laws ..in time...So studying the Bible should be a right given by law ..because our life depends on knowing the Bible..while they made a law of unimportant things..even the prostitutes...can make money from sex...is legal...although we all know is against the morality given by God and it is a sin.
Anyway Thanks for the information ,if they also study Bible in Israel (The Christian Jews )I will go there and establish there ..if they shall prohibit again the Bible in the schools of my country..

Christians are required to study the scriptures. The Old Testament is their equivalent of the Torah.

Actually we are required to study...Just many don't...it's not easy because sometimes you really have to find about the culture of the time and lots of other things including sometimes going back to the original Greek or Hebrew.

I think a good part of it is their attempt to keep their culture, history and language intact, and teaching the Torah in Hebrew is a way they can do this.
Christians, by and large, are lazy.

your talking about a religion that for thousands of years would not allow the bible to be translated into the vernacular so that only the priests would be able to read it.
from a religion such as this you demand that they educate themselves?

They are under the law, we are not.
That is the difference.
