The first five books of the Bible are referred as the "Torah".These first five books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deutoronomy) form the fundamental history and basis of Judaism, and this is how the term got its name (תּוֹרָה, meaning "teaching", is Hebrew--note that it is written right-to-left).

Are all the books in the old testament included in the Torah?

Yes, in translation. However, there are some important differences. One difference is that the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh) is only in the original Hebrew. Any translation, whether done by Jews or Gentiles, is, at best, no more than an indication of what the Tanakh is saying. The translations leave out all or most of the Hebrew Bible's accompanying oral tradition, its traditional musical chant (cantillation, which provides punctuation and emotion), and the fact that many verses teach us a number of things. Another difference is that the Christian Old Testament may contain a few books that are not in the Tanakh (such as the books of Judith and Sirach [and others] which are in the Catholic O.T.).
