To always carry a pouch full of change around their neck just incase! . And by doing so the whole Jewish nation was affected by this. The reason behind this is so Jews aren't going to be Jewish if you ask them for change, because they will have some to give to you!
Hebrew society (the society in ancient Israel) was based upon the covenant with God, as set forth in the Torah. There was always a learned class among the Israelites, and virtually all men and boys (and a good percentage of women) could read and write. A portion of each day was spent praying, and another, larger part of the day, was spent studying Torah (by a good part of the populace). Religious questions (and torts) were brought to one of the many Rabbis or Jewish courts. Having a large family was an ideal, as was welcoming guests into the home, giving charity, and other forms of kindness. A portion of crops were given to the poor. The calendar year was replete with the Sabbaths and festivals; and blessings were said before and after eating and on many other occasions.
In brief, there was no such thing as a secular part of life, since the Torah's laws cover every form of activity, including business.

At the time of Abraham the Hebrew, the world was full of pagan cults; they were polytheistic, worshiping multiple deities and lacking moral character; with their rites accompanied by things such as human sacrifice, "sacred" prostitution, and animal worship. Abraham was the first to advance the idea of ethical monotheism: the worship of One God, and the appropriate ethical code of conduct.
Following Abraham, Israelite society (the society in ancient Israel) was based upon the covenant with God, as set forth in the Torah (Exodus ch.19, Deuteronomy 26:16-19). There was always a learned class among the Israelites, and virtually all men and boys (and a good percentage of women) could read and write.

I'll divide the answer between ancient Israel and modern Israel.
Ancient Israel:
Israelite society was based upon the covenant with God, as set forth in the Torah (Exodus ch.19, Deuteronomy 26:16-19). There was always a learned class among the Israelites, and virtually all men and boys (and a good percentage of women) could read and write. A portion of each day was spent praying; and a larger part of the day was spent studying Torah (by a good part of the populace). Religious questions (and torts) were brought to one of the many Rabbis or Jewish courts.
Modern Israel:
Israeli law today is not based on the Torah; it's a blend of Ottoman laws, British laws, and others. However, Jewish laws do still have an effect:
These are a few examples.
Because the Torah is all-encompassing. Judaism covers all aspects of life. For example, there are daily prayer services and Torah-study, religious education for the children, kosher food, blessings said over food and at other occasions, Torah-festivals and the Sabbath, modest clothing, welcoming guests into the home, giving charity, and much more.

How do Jews live by the Torah?
Israelite society (the society in ancient Israel) was based upon the covenant with God, as set forth in the Torah (Exodus ch.19, Deuteronomy 26:16-19).
Having a large family was an ideal, as was welcoming guests into the home, giving charity, and many other forms of kindness.All of the above existed in Judaism thousands of years earlier than in other nations. Here's just one example: Infanticide was practiced in classical European nations until Judaism and its daughter-religions put a stop to it.
The above are just a few examples.
Because in addition to being a culture, a tradition, an ethnicity, a philosophy,
and a history, Judaism is ... perhaps most fundamentally ... a way of life.

They can share a fully Jewish life together.
This is not correct. The Torah is VERY important to Jewish people. It is the foundation of of Jewish life. The Jews believe it is a tree of life to all that cling to it.
It affected their daily lives by the heat and that they will die
1) The Talmud, after the Torah, is considered the primary text of Jewish learning. Jewish rabbis and scholars, and many laymen, spend time learning the Talmud (as well as the Torah). 2) The Talmud is the chief repository of Jewish law and its decisions are viewed as binding by religious Jews. For example, it affects our daily life in that it sets forth the daily blessings, the laws of keeping kosher, the laws of Shabbat and the Jewish festivals, the laws of charity, and much more.
the 613 mitzvot (laws) direct the Jewish people in the their actions of daily life and their beliefs including moral and ethical behaviour. the Torah's importance can be seen in to use throughout daily life. besides the 613 mitzvot used daily from the Torah. the Torah is used in Daily prayer. Another demonstration of its importance is seen in the display of the mezuzah. The mezuzah is a small container found on the front door of every Jewish house. it contains a prayer called the Shema which is taken directly from scriptures in the Torah... Hope this information has helped. ^_^
L'Chayim is the Jewish - Hebrew - toast meaning ' to life'.
The Orthodox Jews continue traditional Jewish beliefs and ways of life. They believe that God revealed the laws of the Torah and the Talmud directly to Moses on Mount Sinai. They strictly observe all traditional Jewish laws, including the dietary rules and the laws for keeping the Sabbath. Orthodox Jews pray three times a day daily. The men wear hats or skullcaps at all times as a sign of respect to God. Messianic Jews are Christians with the majority having no Jewish heritage whatsoever. They adopt some Jewish practices but apply Christian beliefs to them.
Religious beliefs, such as salvation, sacraments, and pilgrimages, affected daily life in Medieval Europe because they told everyone that the churches were part of people's daily life.

There are about 14 million Jews in the world, and there are about 14 million and one views on the afterlife. Views are more varied than in any other religion because the afterlife does not play any significant role in the daily life of a Jew.
