OK, and now a response that actually seeks to answer the question.

The Jews obey(ed) the Mosaic law. That is, the law that God gave to Moses in the Old Testament. This law was extremely detailed and required sacrifices for all kinds of things. You had to do each one right, and you had to do the right one for the right sin. Jesus came to do away with the law. The covenant that God made with man through Jesus was simply to put your faith in Jesus. This was made complete by Jesus' death on the cross. In doing so, he took the full punishment for man's sins. Now, you no longer need to obey the intricacies of Mosaic law because the ultimate and final sacrifice for sin has been made by Jesus. You only need to accept the fact that He did that and believe it.

EDIT: Ignore this. [Hence, though Jesus was a Jew, he did not promote or continue the practice of the Mosaic Law.]

Any questions?
