The Jewish bible is commonly referred to as the Old Testament or the Tanakh or the Hebrew Bible.*

The most important texts are:

  • the Torah (first five books of The Bible)
  • the Bible, also called the Tanakh (known to Christians as the old testament)
  • The Mishnah
  • The Talmud
  • And various historical writings from scholars and rabbis, such as the Shulchan Aruch, the Mishneh Torah, and the Zohar.

*Only the Christians refer to the Hebrew Bible as "the Old Testament".
