Well, there is certainly the Scripture of the Jewish Bible which is most of the Old Testament which Jews revere as holy.

Jews have also written much additional (non-holy) literature on understanding of the Jewish Bible and the Torah:

  • Mishnah: Customs and laws that came along with the Torah that religious Jews believe show the proper interpretation of the Torah.
  • Talmud: Discussions of the Mishnah that attempt to use the law and apply it in situations that had no previous decisions (like case law)
  • Apocrypha: Additional books from the post-Biblical Era which did not make the Biblical Canon, such as Maccabees and Ben Sira.
  • Midrashim: (Deeper Readings) A collection of stories that explain Torah verses and Jewish concepts.
  • Haggadah: (The Retelling) The prayerbook used on the night of Passover that details the Exodus from Egypt and its religious significance.
  • Moreh Ha-Nevukhim: (Maimonides' Guide to the Perplexed) A discussion of Jewish philosophy.
  • Derekh Hashem: (Way of God) A book on Divine Providence by Rabbi Luzzatto, which explains Jewish philosophy.
