Hello,

The jewish base their religious beliefs on both the hebrew bible and the talmud. Jews call it TANAKH, which is a Hebrew acronym for the three sections it contains: Torah (the Pentateuch or first five books of the Old Testament), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). The Tanakh contains the 39 books found in the Christian Bible and called the "Old Testament." The talmud is considered the most important book in Judaism. This tells the jewish how to interpret and apply the laws found in scripture.

Here is a good break down:

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need anything further.

Take care,
Traci
