The Tanak is the first 5 books (aka books of Moses; Pentateuch), the Torah is the Old Testament; and the Talmud is Babylonian religious material that was absolutely condemned in the Bible.
This is the correct answer
Its probably time I dig into this. Way past time given what's going on on the world now.
Do you have any suggestions as to where to start? I mean I could go straight to the source material but it would be helpful to have a meta-reference for guidance.
It is quite a serious undertaking, and you will continue to learn more and more over the course of years if you really put time into this. The most important first step is to start a prayer with God. Ask him to unveil his truth to you. This series is loooong, but does an excellent job as crash course for such a detailed, nuanced subject. I found this very helpful back when I began my journey towards understanding.
