It came to my attention in a previous posting that the Book of Isaiah is not in the Torah (forgive my ignorance regarding Judaism). My question is, do those who follow Judaism still consider the prophecies of Isaiah to be divinely inspired?

It is not in the Torah because the Torah is just the first five books of Moses, the Law. The bible or TaNaCh is made of the Torah, Writings, and the Prophets. Isaiah is in the book of the Prophets. The Torah is a piece of the Jewish Bible.

The Torah is the books of Moses, the first five books of the Bible.
The Tenah is the Whole Old Testament. Isaiah is just as inspired but it is in the Prophets not in the Law (Torah).

Of course. The difference is that the traditional understanding of those prophesies according to Judaism are quite different than the Christian understanding.
Further, intentional mistranslations have entered into the Christian versions of Isaiah that change the meaning of the text.

Who ever said that Isaiah is not in the Torah must be mistaken, because the Jewish leaders at the time of Christ refereed to him when they asked John the baptist if he was Isaiah returned. No I am not a Jew, but the next best thing, I am a Sabbatarian.

the torah is the first five books of the bible, given by G-d to moses at sinai, and are believed to have been either written by G-d himself or more likely, dictated to moses who wrote them down.
the books of the prophets and writings came later, and are not considered as sacred as the torah, and while the belief is that they were true prophets speaking the word of G-d and so the books are holy, the books themselves were not written or dictated by G-d but by men.

The book of Isaiah is in the Jewish Bible (Tanak) of course we believe his prophecies. We just read them in the original Hebrew and do not understand the Christian translations.

Kabbalah is Jewish mysticism. i do no longer understand any Jews who honestly spend any time on it in any respect, to be honest. human beings under the age of 40 are no longer meant to learn it because of the fact it is a tad worrying. regardless of the undeniable fact that it is not any longer expressly 'forbidden', only meant for individuals mature sufficient to be waiting to deal with it. desire that helps. EDIT - the place in the international are you getting those 'data'? i've got in no way are available the time of this 'serpents' stuff previously. Judaism does no longer also have a critical evil or 'devil' determine. in certainty, 'devil' is the Hebrew be conscious for 'adversary' and in Judaism he's a fallen angel, no longer a demon. additionally, as a prior answerer properly notes, 'halal' is a Muslim term, it is the Islamic equivalent of 'kosher'!

THE BOOK OF ISAIAH IS THE GREATEST PRPHETIC BOOK OF CHRISTIANITY AS IT TALKS ABOUT THE REDEMPTIVE WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST.
