>If I am not mistake "torah" means Law. So it would the five books of Moses?
Ok. So, Torah is the bible. Why not call Bible then?
Another question if you don't mind: what is this thing called talmud?
Because there other books of the Old Testament like Psalms or books of Prophets. "Bible" is an English form of the Greek word "Biblia" - "books". Haghia Biblia - Holy Books.

You have several people here who are better qualified to answer it, so I will skip it.
"Ok. So, Torah is the bible. Why not call Bible then?"
The Torah is only the first five books of what Christians call the Old Testament and Jews call the Tankh. I am not sure if they are exactly the same collection of books, but they are basically the same thing as far as I know. The Christian Bible is comprised of the entire Old Testament (or Tanakh) and the New Testament. The Torah is only the first 5 of the 60+ books in the Bible, so they really aren't even close to being the same thing.
And I believe the Talmud is Jewish commentary on the Tankh that came many years after the scriptures were written.
I am not Jewish or a religious scholar, so anyone can feel free to correct my descriptions of the books.
