Yes, they do. The most sacred is the five books of Moses, called the Torah in Judaism, more commonly known as the Old Testament. The only difference is that Jews read it in Hebrew, not English. The five books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Dueteronomy. There is also the Mishnah, which helps explain the Torah, and the Gemara, the commentary on the Mishnah. Together they are known as the Talmud. Finally, there are the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the Twelve Prophets, Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Songs, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, and Chronicles. These are writings, so whether or not you consider them sacred writings depends on what definition of sacred writing you are using.
Jewish answerThe Jewish Bible is called 'Tanach'. The word Tanach is an acronym made up of the names of its three sections: Torah (Teachings), Nevi'im (Prophets), K'tuvim (Writings).
Although the Talmud plays an important role in Judaism, it is not considered a sacred text.
Additionally, although the Christian Old Testament was based on the Tanach as a whole (not just the Torah), it was altered to support the teachings of Christianity.
