No, not really. Remember that the entire Christian Church started out as Jews who just believed that the Messiah had arrived in the person of Jesus Christ. In the Torah there are, I believe 613 commandments. St. Thomas Aquinas divides this into three categories: the moral (think of the Ten Commandments), the legislative, and those commandments which were to foreshadow the Messiah. The moral commandments are valid for all time, in this we did not copy Jewish ways, we just remained faithful to the moral commandments of God. The legislative commandments may or may not be valid depending our your civil government. Those commandments which were to foreshadow the Messiah are a serious sin to follow as to follow them is saying that you are still waiting for the Messiah and do not believe that He arrived in the person of Jesus. This is why the Council of Jerusalem ruled that (and St. Paul reiterated) to receive circumcision is to condemn yourself (if you receive circumcision believing that it will save you). Circumcision has been replaced by baptism.
