The Talmud is the New Testament equivalent for Jews. It is surely holy in the eyes of its Jewish creators. Modern jews might downplay it, but the decision for it to be created, curated, kept, and updated by the Pharisees shows its authority within its existence in judiasm. Its a collection of prescriptions and rulings by the Pharisees (some absolutely disgusting and harrowing), of course it holds authority. Go burn one and see what the jewish communities say. They won't react like its the bylaws of your HOA that got thrown in the trash, even if you think just as much of it. The Talmud is 'common-law-ification' of the laws and practices handed down in the OT but finagled through predicaments such as losing the most central part of the religion. It is not a letter directly against Jesus, but it certainly includes going concerns like the fallout of Jesus, God no longer accepting the scapegoat, and the temple being destroyed.
And I am glad you used the word Gehenna. Jesus used that word repeatedly when talking to the Pharisees to describe a place outside of the Kingdom of God, where wickedness goes and is filled with torment of the soul. I think you mean Gehinnom which is purposefully a word that avoids greek translation and is totally something completely different than outer darkness where wickedness goes. Gehinnom is a place of punishment for the wicked. There's levels and different sins have different punishments. The unrepentant get annihilated or punished further. Definitely not anything like hell, no sir ee.
"Gehinnom, the New Coke of Hell' has a certain ring to it. New name, same great place of punishment.
I think you need to learn a bit more about both religions here.
