> the torah is the quintessential jewish holy book that contains the prophecies, the law and the covenant. the torah is only the first 5 books of the ot, which are said to be penned by moses (who wasn't a jew btw). the other two sections (in judaism) are the prophets and the writings, the books within these are filed chronologically, as opposed to categorically, in the christian old testament.  when modern (and even those in antiquity near the time of the destruction of the 2nd temple) jews speak of "the torah" they are most often talking about the the oral torah, or the "torah b'peh" which includes the mishnah, the midrash and the talmud which are commentaries and extrapolations of the laws.  you are deliberately misrepresenting things. t.bachelors degree in religious studies.
