Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Mishnah or the Mishna (/ˈmɪʃnə/; Hebrew: מִשְׁנָה, "study by repetition", from the verb shanah שנה, or "to study and review", also "secondary")[1] is the first major written collection of the Jewish oral traditions that are known as the Oral Torah. It is also the first major work of rabbinic literature.[2] The Mishnah was redacted by Judah ha-Nasi probably in Beit Shearim or Sepphoris[3] between the ending of the second century and the beginning of the 3rd century CE[4][5] in a time when the persecution of Jews and the passage of time raised the possibility that the details of the oral traditions of the Pharisees from the Second Temple period (516 BCE – 70 CE) would be forgotten.
