Best Answer

The Torah is the Holy Book of Judaism. The Torah is the Five Books of Moses and the teachings that Jewish people follow. Christians call the Torah the Old Testament. There are actually some differences between the Christian Old Testament and the Jewish Torah due to mistranslations in the Christian book, though. The Torah is said to have been given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai as the Israelites were fleeing the Egyptians.

Torah acted as a moral guideline and as a constitution of sorts for the nation of Israel. That is not the case today as Israel lives under a secular government.
