The Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible - the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. It is also considered to be the entire Bible by the Jews.

In the Christian Bible, the Tanakh is the first part. Today and Christians refer to translations of the Tanakh as the Old Testament or Old Covenant, however, the early church re-arranged the ancient order of books (The Jews still preserve the original order). These Scriptures contain approximately 80% of the whole of The Bible.

What might be the reason that fewer Americans know about the importance of the Talmud in Judaism than know about the importance of the Hebrew bible?

It probably comes from the fact that the Hebrew Bible is very accessible to most Christians and is used often to set the scene for Jesus' life. The Talmud came later and while it is important, its importance comes from the fact that it interprets the Hebrew Bible, not on its "own merit". The Hebrew Bible is the Holy Book, not the Talmud. It is similar to how the Nicene Creed is central in Christianity, but few Americans are aware of the Nicene Creed, even though they are aware of the Christian Bible.
