The Torah is the Five Books of Moses. It is the holiest of Jewish books.
The Tanach, which is the Hebrew Bible, contains the Torah, the Prophets and the Scriptures. Together, these make up the written law.
The Oral Law was passed down through oral tradition until Rabbi Judah HaNasi felt (1800 years ago) that it might eventually be forgotten. He transcribed it; and it is called the Mishna. The Mishna is expounded upon in the Gemara; and together they make up the Talmud.
