Best Answer

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.

the torah

Answer:Judaism's laws are contained in the Torah, but are explained in the Talmud. The Talmud, while an important part of Judaism, does not have the holiness of the Torah.

There are several. The Talmud and Shulchan Aruch are two excellent answers. The Talmud is not one book, it is frequently printed and bound as 15-30 volumes, and it is a sometimes contradictory collection of all the opinions expressed by the rabbis in the academies of Palestine and Babylon during the first half of the first millennium. The Shulchan Aruch, in contrast, is a scholarly attempt by Rabbi Joseph Caro of Safed (in Ottoman Palestine) to boil Jewish law down into a well organized law code, completed in 1563; it is usually published in 4 volumes.
