Jews generally agree that there are 613 mitzvot (commandments) in the Torah. These serve as the foundation for the system of Jewish religious law in much the same way as the Constitution of the United States serves as the foundation of the US legal system.

How is Judaism different?

It depends entirely on what you are comparing Judaism to. If you are comparing modern forms of Judaism to ancient forms of Judaism, there are several differences. Judaism has had to adapt to not having the Great Temple in Jerusalem and to being mostly in countries where Judaism was not the majority religion. As a result, a number of rules specifically dealing with the Great Temple are no longer followed. Additionally, the Rabbis wanted to protect the observance of the Torah Laws by creating additional, more restrictive laws to prevent unintentional breaking of the Torah Laws. Finally, there was also the recent development of Liberal Judaism, which represents a fundamental shift in Jewish observance and belief. Using modern, and non-Jewish ideas to influence the way in which Judaism should develop.
