The Torah is the first 5 (6)? Books of the Bible. They are the basis for old-school Jewish "law". The Talmud is a book that is a strictly Jewish text and I'm not sure where it comes from. The Talmud is controversial to some people because it paints Jews as a superior, special people and non-jews as swine, much like the Quran does with Muslims.

The old testament is the complete collection of all recognized old testament bible books, including Song of Solomon, Psalms, Proverbs, the minor prophets, and the "historical" books - Josuah, Judges, Ruth, I & II Samuel, etc.

The kabala I have not a clue about. I'll try and see what i can find online.

Jesus' intent, at least from my understanding of the Bible, was to be the fulfillment of all Jewish or old laws. Jesus' main message does not deal with Jewish law and practices, only how one should deal with others. The Old Testament was big on procedure, Jesus was big on the heart and how one interacts with others.

Talmud-comprised of two books 'The Mishna and Gemara'
These are a collection of Ancient Rabbinic teachings and philosophies (generally after the destruction of the 2nd temple) The Talmud explores, questions, interperets, and philosophizes on the meaning of the Torah.

The Kaballah refers to a text used by the Jewish mystics, i.e. Mysticism. Very complex and intense...
