Best Answer

The holy books are the Tanakh: the Hebrew Bible consisting of the Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings).

There are a number of additional pieces of religious literature that range in importance from the Mishnah, Talmud, Gemarah, and the Shulchan Aruch (which are at the high end) to smaller treatises put out by famous Rabbis on very specific religious topics (at the lower end). Libraries can be filled with the wide range of Jewish religious literature.
