God and God alone.

From the Torah:
ואלה שמות (And these are the names)
or
Shemot
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

We worship God. The Torah is God's lawe- given to Moses on Mt. Sinai. Teh Torah is the Five Books of Moses and is the first part of the Tanach- what non-Jews call the "Old Testament", the other two parts of the Tanach are Neviim and Ketuvim, Prophets and Writings.

The Jews revere the Torah; they worship God.
The Torah is the Law and the Prophets, generally, the Old Testament books of the Bible.

(The first five books of the Bible are referred to as "The Pentatuech.")

the torah is the first five books of the bible. no we don't worship it. in judaism worship and prayer is for G-d alone.

EDIT

*sigh* why would jews refer to our scriptures by a greek name? the torah is the first five books of the bible. the whole bible put together is called the tanakh.

The Jewish people are replaced by believer Christians in thier status of being God's own people.
They are supposed to believe in Christ and became Christians to return thier right relationship to God Almighty.
