How Jewish Is the Book of Ben Sira?
It was left out of the Jewish Bible.
The book of Ben Sira, thought to have been written around 200 BCE, consists mostly of proverbs and aphorisms.

Yet, notes Michael Satlow, Jews continued to read and study it long after it was definitely excluded from Scripture.
