The commandments may sometimes expose us to ridicule.
The commandments require us to be aware constantly (not to walk around in a daze), so we don't violate any of them.
The commandments place certain limitations on what we can do (such as where we may eat).
The ten commandments
We do not believe that the commandments can't be followed outside of Israel!! Jews all over the world follow the commandments! There are some commandments we can't follow such as those pertaining to animal sacrifice because we do not have a Temple in Jerusalem. But other commandments are followed by Jews from Argentina to Zimbabwe!

There are two slightly different versions of the 10 commandments, one in Exodus, one in Deuteronomy. Jews generally refer to the 10 statements, since some of the statements are not in the form of commandments.

Jews believe that the 10 commandments are only binding on Jews, while the 7 Noachide commandments are binding on all mankind.
