The Tanakh is actually several books in one...the Torah is the actual holy scripture part...hence the reason they parade around the Torah and use it to bless, not the Tanakh or the Talmud or any of the other books that are mostly commentaries on the Torah... The old Testament is a modified version of the Torah and is even referred to as the Hebrew Cannon as it consists of books that are also found in the Torah...though the Torah has others not included in the OT.
