Judaism holds that the Torah is eternal, including its laws as well as its ethics and beliefs. The rabbis never distinguished between moral/ethical and ritual commandments. Rabbinical Judaism, whose main record of tradition is contained in the Talmud, takes a unified view of the halakhic system, according to which no greater importance in principle is place on any one mitzvah(Torah-commandment) over another.
Though it may have an associated culture and one or more associated languages, the traditional definition of Judaism is the observance of the Torah, which is why dictionaries define Judaism as "the religion of Moses." In this sense, the word "Torah" is meant in its wider meaning, which includes the Tanakh, the Talmud, and other classical Jewish texts.
The philosophy of Judaism is that this world is a purposeful creation by God, in which all people are tested concerning their use of free-will. We possess a soul which lives on after the body dies and is held responsible for the person's actions. Anyone who is worthy, Jewish or not, can merit reward in the afterlife.
Some examples of the commands:
Belief in God
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.

The key principle of Judaism is to bring justice into the world.
That God exists and is one, and God gave the Torah and inspired the prophets.
Judaism is more centered on action than on belief, but this question has been asked frequently enough that, in the 12th century, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides) came up with this list of core beliefs:
God exists, and is the Creator
God is One and unique
God is not physical
God is eternal
Prayer is to be directed only to God
The words of the prophets are true
The prophecies of Moses are true; he was the greatest prophet
The Torah was given to Moses
There will be no other Torah
God knows the thoughts and deeds of all
God rewards the good and punishes the wicked
The Messiah will come
The dead will be resurrected
