Yes.

Jews primarily use the first five books of the Law (Pentateuch) which they call the Torah as a basis for their Religious Law. Jews also consider the stories of the Old Testament to be a narrative of their history. Jews do not read the New Testament or if they do, they do so as a piece of literature, and not as a holy scripture.
