No, the Jewish Bible is called the Tanach. The Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach but the OT was altered to support the teachings of Christianity. Jews do not consider the OT to be a valid translation of the Tanach.

The Torah is the sacred text of Jews and Samaritans, although there are lots of small differences between the Jewish and Samaritan one, and one big difference about where the sacrifices are to be done. The Jewish tradition also recognizes the prophetic books (like Isaiah) and the writings (like Ruth) as part of The Bible. The Christians refer to the entire Jewish Bible as the Old Testament. To it, they add the Gospels and later writings that they call, collectively, the New Testament.
