I know thе fact thаt thе first five books οf thе O.T οf thе Bible іѕ a Book οf Torah? And thеn whаt аbουt thе rest οf thе O.T? Dο thеу gο tο аnу scripture іn Jewish book? whу nοt? Whаt οthеr Jewish book аftеr thе first book οf thе O.T thаt аrе missing іn thе Bible? whу separation?
Thе Tanakh composes thе Jewish Bible, аnd fοr thе mοѕt раrt іt іѕ regular wіth thе Christian Bible’s Ancient Testament.
Thе Torah ("Teaching," аlѕο renowned аѕ thе Five Books οf Moses), Nevi’im ("Prophets") аnd Ketuvim ("Writings") – hence TaNaKh.
Thе Jewish tradition аlѕο includes thе Talmud, whісh іѕ thе oral tradition (Mishnah) аnd rabbinical interpretations (Gemara).

The whole Book new and ancient is the History of the Israelites, and not those as we know as Jews today. They do not keep the tradition that Jesus Kept nor do they believe in him. They are not even Jew. The whole book is relevant to get salvation

I reckon they have the Talmud.

resolution: No, the Torah is not the first five books of the OT. The Tanakh is what the Christian OT is based on. Of course there’s scripture in the Tanakh, that’s where scripture comes from. There are differences in the order of the books as well as translation/interpretation problems going from the Tanakh to the Christian OT.
There are books in the Catholic bible that were not included in the Protestant OT nor in the Jewish Tanakh.
The Talmud is not considered part of the Tanakh, it is the commentary from sages on the Torah (the first 5 books of the Tanakh).
Why separation? Because there is NO OT nor NT in Judaism.

The Jewish scripture falls into two categories: the written and oral law.
The written is the Tanakh, which is an acronym of Torah (Law), Nevi’im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings).
If you went to Israel and bought a Christian Ancient Testament in Hebrew (as you buy one in French in France, etc.) it would look EXACTLY like the Tanakh apart from the books would be in the incorrect order. So while the Ancient Testament is not translated or laid out the same way as the Tanakh, it is most certainly based on it. King James didn’t have his translators write it from nothing, after all.
The text of each book is more or less the same in Jewish translations as what you see in Christian bibles, although there are some occasional, slight differences in the numbering of verses and there are some significant differences in the translations, but perhaps this is mainly in the King James Version, I don’t know. For example, Isaiah 7:14 says "Consequently the L-rd Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Nothing there about a "virgin." That’s just one example of, unfortunately, many.
The oral law is the Talmud, which is essentially 300 years of rabbinical debate about the law(s). The debates list both sides: the positive and the negative. I tend to be skeptical when someone quotes the Talmud as support to be against Judaism because they only list one side of the debate, and then often skip the reasoning behind the innumerable conclusions. I am providing some links to sites which can clarify about the Talmud much better than I can.
I can tell you that, as a Jew, while I read the Tanakh, I’ve never read the Talmud. I hear about it during services, usually when the rabbi or whoever is leading the service brings up something from the Talmud. Because we tend to question and debate ourselves, the rabbi will say something which is in Talmud and we’ll debate the issue for a while, and then the rabbi will tell us the conclusions reached by the rabbis in the Talmud. It is always fascinating to me and deepens my understanding of my own faith, as well as my faith community.

What is the Talmud?
http://talmud.faithweb.com/articles/whatis.html
The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach and contains the same books as the Christian OT. The differences are that the books are arranged differently, the verses are often numbered differently and its translated differently (sometimes there are major differences in translation).

I welcome your questions, as it gives an chance to speak in fact, not fiction or belief. Around 250BC Ptolomy III chose to turn the Ancient Testament writings into Greek. He commisioned 6 priests from each of the twelve Jewish tribes to help in this splendid work. The follow-on translation, called the 70 or the Septuagint, was never accepted by the Jewish Priestly class–largely because of the way crucial words were translated. Words like "absolution" and "Saviour"
and even "afterlife" crept into the Ancient Testament.
Until this time the only divisiveness among the Priestly class had been among the descendents of Moses in the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and those of his brother Aaron in the Southern Kingdom (Judea). But, in 250BC Jerusalem , Aaron’s descendents had long ago become supreme and new friction was taking place among Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes, and other groups.
To this date the Jewish Ancient Testament ruins as it was before the 70, while the Christian versions use the 70 translation exclusively. And despite what you may be told in Sunday school –there are hundreds of discrepancies in the 70.
Did you know that the splendid majority of the Jews from that era lived in Samaria, the land formerly called the Kingdom of Israel? These people, near vanished today, only use the Torah and will not use the rest of the Ancient Testament. Judges, Kings, all of the Prophets–Chronicles especially they believe wrongly glorify King David.. In 250BC the Samaritans were powerful. Their Synagogs were in every major city in the world and Jerusalem’s Jews were a small faction in the faith. Over the next few centuries the Samaritans fell on hard times since the 70 version became widely accepted primarily because it existing hope of an afterlife.
When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire,
around 400AD, the Samaritans became targeted. Their Institutions and literature were ruined by fire, and we are fortunate to know anything at all about them today.
