What are the different laws in the Torah?

Answer 1

There are 613 of them. They include the laws to give charity,

teach your children, make sure that widows and orphans are

cared for, make one day a week completely different from the

others, have children, avoid cruelty to animals, and be holy.

Nobody is able to observe all of them, and nobody knows

which ones are the most important.

Answer 2

The Torah (or Pentateuch) is made up of five books:

Genesis - telling the story of the Patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Exodus - describes the Israelites' slavery in Egypt, redemption, acceptance of God's Torah and the building of the Tabernacle

Leviticus - Proscribes laws concerning the Temple and the priesthood

Numbers - describes the Israelites' wanderings in the desert

Deuteronomy - the last words of Moses to the Israelites including a summary of the laws found in the other 4 books

Answer 3

Well, first of all, the Jewish Torah is the only one there is, and five books is

all it has.

When the Torah was translated through Greek into many other languages,

the Hebrew names of the books were translated to:

-- Genesis

-- Exodus

-- Leviticus

-- Numbers

-- Deuteronomy

Answer 4

Too many to list, there are hundreds of commands and beliefs. Below are some examples. Putting on Tefillin (phylacteries) in the morning
The sukkah-booth during Sukkot
Avoiding leavened products in Passover

Keeping kosher
Not eating on Yom Kippur
Not working on the Shabbat
Paying workers on time
Marital rights for one's wife

The Ten Commandments

Helping someone who is in danger
Counting the days of the Omer
Returning lost objects when feasible
Wearing the tzitzith-garment

Affixing a mezuzah to the door
Learning Torah
Marrying and having children
Educating one's children in Judaism
Giving tzedakah (charity)
Honoring one's parents

And many more.
The laws have various reasons. Some (such as the Passover) serve to reenact or remember events of our history.
Some (such as saying the Shema-prayer) serve to reiterate our belief in God.
Some of the laws (such as those of ritual purity and kosher food) serve to sanctify us.
Some (such as the laws of torts) serve to maintain an orderly and just society.
Some (such as the law against breaking a vow) serve to prevent bad character traits.
Some (such as the command to offer help) serve to engender good character traits.
And all of the commands serve to subjugate us to God's will (especially those commands for which no explanation is easily apparent).

Note that the Torah "as is" isn't exactly what Judaism observes. Rather, It's the Torah together with the details provided in the Talmud, which is the Oral Law that was handed down together with the laws of Moses. Otherwise, the verses of the Torah often lack enough detail to be fulfilled as is.
