Language:
In many cases, Jewish communities created their own languages that were based on the local language but quite different from it. These include Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Arabic, and others.
Speech:
Jewish speech (in any language), especially among religious communities, is seasoned with hundreds of expressions that refer to various Torah-concepts.
Instead of saying "Tomorrow I'll visit," the phrase will be "Tomorrow I'll visit im yirtzeh Hashem" (God willing). See also: An extensive Jewish glossary of words
Cuisine:
Jewish communities have created certain foods in keeping with Torah-requirements. Matzoh-ball soup and matzoh-brei on Passover replace any leavened equivalent. Gefilte fish (which contains no bones) was created to avoid the stricture against separating bones from food on the Shabbat.
Let's see a few examples.

Here in Israel, homes in religious neighborhoods tend to be designed with two sinks in the kitchen, an additional sink for handwashing outside the bathroom, and a porch for the sukkah.
At every Jewish religious wedding, and in very many synagogues, you'll encounter people collecting alms for the indigent. Every religious home has at least one pushke (charity-box) which, when filled, is donated to the tzedakah (charity) of one's choice.
I've tried to give examples that are not in themselves obligatory, but reflect Torah-commands or attitudes.
