The Shulchan Aruch (שׁוּלחָן עָרוּך‎) literally, "Set Table"is a code of Jewish law, authored and published by Rabbi Yosef Karo in the 16th century.

It is considered the most widely accepted compilation of Jewish law since the Talmud.

What is the holy book or the book that has all the teachings or laws for judaism?

The two parts of the question require separate answers. The Jewish Holy Book is the Jewish Bible (the Tanakh), of which the most important section is the Torah (the Pentateuch). More information about the the Tanakh can be found at the Related Question below on Jewish Holy Books. There is no book that aggregates all of the different Jewish Laws, since Judaism is always encountering new situations and needing to reapply pre-existing laws and precedents to new situations. Probably the best place to find a coherent set of laws that represents (more or less) what Judaism's laws are is the "Set Table" or Shulchan Aruch, which was written in the 1560s by Rabbi Joseph Caro. An abbreviated English translation, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, is also available.
