Do Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate Jewish holidays since they do not have pagan roots?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not observe the ancient Jewish holidays because these are associated with the Mosiac Law which was done away with by Christ Jesus' sacrifice. Jehovah's Witnesses excercise faith in Jesus and observe the Law of the Christ rather than holding to those pre-Christian observances.-(Galatians 6:2)The ancient Jewish holidays were required by the Mosiac Law covenant. The most well-known part of that law was the Ten Commandments, but there were some 300 other laws and requirements that included festivals, holidays, and various sabbaths.Whe referring to that law, Paul stated at Romans 7:6,7, that Christians have been "discharged from theLaw.", that is, that old Mosiac Law.At Romans 10:4, we are told that, " Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness."Colossians 10:6, says that God "kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us, which consisted of decrees and which was in opposition to us . . .Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking" or "in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath."So the festivals and holidays required by the Law would not be required on those excercising faith in Jesus.Christians are not under that Law covenant. The Mosiac Law was to be a "tutor leading to Christ."-(Galatians 3:24) Therefore, when Christ came and proved faithful, he could say that he fullfilled the Law. -(Matthew 5:17) That is why Paul could write years later that the Law was "nailed to the stake" along with Christ.-(Colossians 3:13,14)
Was the mosiac covenant the first attempt in the bible to define sin?
No. God is equally fair to all (spirit and physical) and gave His Law to Adam - you cannot sin if there is no law. It may also be said that the spiritual world knew His Law as 1/3 of the angels that followed now Satan sinned:Genesis 4:7New King James Version (NKJV) 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."

What was the covenant between God and the Israelites?
The answer depends on how far back you would like to go. In essence there were two main covenants involving the nation of Israel. The first would be the Abrahamic covenant established between God himself and Abraham in the year 1943 BCE (at the time known as Abram). At Genesis 12:1-3 God tells Abraham that he will make him a "great nation" (Israel) and by means of this nation the entire world would be blessed. The specifics of the land that this great nation would inhabit are enlarged upon at Genesis 13:14-18. Note that the Abrahamic Covenant had no "expiration" date, but was to extend through an unspecified period of time until it accomplished the purpose it had been established for: all nations living in blessed harmony with God as stated at Genesis 17:3-8 (incidentally the 17th chapter of Genesis also establishes the Covenant of Circumcision which was a means to identify those who had entered into the covenant made with Abram). Then there is the Law Covenant established with the nation of Israel and mediated by Moses. After an extend period under the subjugation of Egypt God led the Israelites towards the lands he had promised they would inhabit (by then the Israelites numbered perhaps about 2 million). In 1513 BCE, 430 years after the Abrahamic covenant's establishment, and as we read at Exodus Chapter 17, the nation of Israel agreed to the Law Covenant (often referred to as the Mosaic Law). The Law was intended for several purposed including: to organize the Israelites as a nation, lead the nation to the Messiah (who would be the key descendant of Abraham that would make it possible for 'all nations to be blessed' ) and to keep them free from pagan practices. When the Messiah was born into the world his perfect way of living and devotion to God fulfilled the Law. In fact God, through the prophet Jeremiah, had already told the nation that at some time in the future the Law would no longer be in force (Jeremiah 31:31-34). The Messiah's eventual sacrifice made the Law invalid along with its animal sacrifices and ritual atonements. The Christ's blood was worth far more than the blood of the animals upon which the Law was based. Now Christ would act as the mediator between sinners and God (Colossians 2:8-17). So the Law Covenant came to an end after Jesus sacrifice (see also Matt. 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45) but the Abrahamic Covenant continues, again, until its intended purpose has been accomplished: all nations of the world being blessed.
What is difference between old covenant and new covenant?
The old covenant, found in the Old Testament, was based on the laws given to the Israelites through Moses. The new covenant, established through Jesus in the New Testament, emphasizes grace, forgiveness, and personal relationship with God rather than adherence to strict laws and rituals. Jesus's sacrifice on the cross served as the foundation for the new covenant, offering salvation to all who believe in Him.
