Doesn’t Rabbinical Judaism have a 3-part “descending” view of the Canon? Torah, Neviim and Ketubim (Books of Law, Prophets and Writings) are not held in the same esteem. Torah is preeminent, the Prophets less significant, and Writings a further step down.

Correct me if I am wrong.

That I haven’t heard. I do get the impression that the Torah is the primary teaching source in Rabbinic Judaism, so it seems to have pride of place in this regard.
