The sacred text of Judaism is the Tanach, the Jewish Bible. The word Tanach is an acronym made from the names of its threesections: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), and K'tuvim (Writings).

Other texts of importance (although not considered sacred) are siddurim (prayer books) and the Talmud.)
