Is Vedas a Jewish holy book?

No. The vedas is not a Hindu God. The Vedas speak of a Supreme being of light that will come and remove the sins of the world. This supreme being of light is none other than Christ in reality. The vedas are not reliable as no one agrees to an accurate version that faithfully is recorded. Faith in the Vedas has been lost due to its nature of Animal sacrifice including cows for sins (yes hindu's cows were already sacrificed by your one and only holy scripture). The Vedas run at a very slight angle parallel with the old testament. Much of the old testament is almost word for word in the vedas. One wonders just how old the vedas must be.
