Should we reverence the Torah?

Sure. It’s not as important as the Gospels but it’s still inspired Scripture.

Edit: After rereading your post, just to be clear in case you are confused, the Torah is just the first five books of the Old Testament, not the whole thing. Same answer goes for the whole Old Testament though.
 
Outstanding Yes!

When you say the Torah I’m assuming you mean the Tanakh. The Torah is the foundation to the New Testament, without it we would have little to fall back on. How many customs, laws, followings would we not have without the Torah. Where would we get the rules on marital relations, for without them you just might be marrying your brother and sister and never give it a second thought. You might not be attending Church services as we know them today without the backdrop of references. When Christ said “I come to fulfill the law”, without the Torah what law would he be referring to. If you read Revelations, what resource to its understanding would you have without the Torah. The list could go on and on. You can’t have one without the other. Without the Torah the New Testament is only half what it should be. Only together are they complete.
Did you ever try to solve a complex math problem and then given an incomplete set of variables?
 
Can you explain what you mean by “reverence”? You are using that as a verb.

Basically I’m asking if we should treat it as if it were the first five books of the Bible?
