The Jewish festivals are to be found in Leviticus ch.23. Every one of them has as its purpose "remembering the Exodus from Egypt" (as stated in our prayers and the kiddush over wine).
In addition, Passover is a Thanksgiving to God for the barley-harvest, Shavuoth is a thanksgiving to God for the wheat-harvest, and Sukkoth is a thanksgiving to God for the ingathering of grain.
Shavuoth also celebrates the Giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai, and Sukkoth remembers God having protected us in the wilderness.
It may also be noted that it is instinctive and a moral and emotional need and imperative to celebrate in front of God every so often. This was Cain's motivation in making his offering in Genesis ch.4 without having been commanded.
Had God not given us the Torah-festivals listed above, we might instinctively seek out those of the Canaanites, which the Torah warns against (Exodus 34:15) immediately before listing the Jewish festivals (in the following verses).

Why is it important for a christian today to remember that Jesus was a Jew?
It's always important to remember that Jesus was a Jew. There are many deceivers and heretics who twist history and God's Word and use both to lay a perverted foundation for anti-Semitism. By remembering Jesus was a Jew, we are reminded that the Jews are God's Chosen People, and that among the Jews, Jesus is God's Chosen Person, the Anointed One, the Messiah. When we recall that Jesus was a product of His heritage, the question then becomes, How can you pick and enjoy the fruit (Jesus) and then disdain and cut down the tree from which it came (the Jews)? Remembering that Jesus was a Jew is a major step in fighting the scourge of anti-Semitism.
