Are there any books of the Jewish bible that go beyond the last writing in the old testament?

The last books in the Old Testament written before the birth of Christ are: Judith, 1 & 2 Maccabees, Baruch and Wisdom. They were all written B.C. 100. Biblical Scholars say Christ was born 3 or 6 B.C.E.
There may be other books but they are not part of the canon of Sacred Scripture.
Have a blessed day

I think is is around 400 years between the writing of the last old testament book and Jesus' birth. However I can't remember exactly and welcome any other more learned people's comments.
The Jewish Bible was the old testament. There were also some other books that formed the Torah which I think tried to suppliment what the old testament said.

The Maccabees book covers the period between the years 175 and 135 B.C.
The Jewish Bible is a section of our Old Testament.

In the Christian Bible, the Book of Malachi was probably written around 450 years before Christ's birth. There are some other books in the 500 to 550 years B.C. range.

Jesus is a fictional character.
He was invented at the council of Nicea in 325 "ad" by the Emperor Constantine.

The "Apocrypha" or deuterocanonical books were written during the "intertestamental period." Yes.
