The Torah is really just the books of Moses is it not?

The rest of the Old Covenant and Maccabees is called the Prophets and the Writings and that by Moses is The Law or Torah.

That was always what I was told.

and I was told there are two Talmuds. (Hebrew and Babylonian (aramaic))

do the Karaites reject the Hebrew Talmud too?

Technically, yes, but if you read the works of Gershom Sholem, deceased professor at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, you'll see it used in a broader application, applying it sometimes to include Talmud and Kabbalah. I strongly reject such usage, but I'm just giving this as an example.

Karaites reject both Talmuds, Jerusalem and Babylonian. They believe in the Bible only.
