Despite their length, both the Torah and the Talmud are actually extremely brief. Also, both (in their original form) are without punctuation or vowels; and both contain many difficult words.

It is the classical commentaries that enable us to fully understand these works.

Why do you think the commentaries are so signifiant to many Jews?

Without them, the Torah would be lacking in detail. Here's an example: you shall not murder. Is a doctor who gives the wrong medicine culpable? Fully culpable? Would it be permitted to kill an enemy who has hinted that he has plans to kill you in the future? There are myriads of details such as these which need clarification, which is what the Talmud and commentaries do.

Do Jews make notice of Herods killing of the Holy Innocence?

Firstly, the question is incorrect - I think it was meant to be, "does Herod's killing of the innocents matter in the Jewish faith?" No. It is recorded in the New Testament, but I suspect there is a mention in the rabbinical commentaries - as there is on many things both religious and mundane. You may want to research into those. Jews see Jesus - Yeshua - as a prophet, not the messiah (unless one is a messianic jew!).
