It really depends on who you ask. Traditional Jews believe that ALL Jews are obligated to follow the 613 commandments of the Torah. About 2/3 of these laws are not able to be followed in modern times, in the absence of the Ancient Holy Temple.

Non-orthodox Jews have many different opinions on this. In fact, Orthodox Jews also have many different opinions. And even among the Orthodox, there are differences between Ashkenazic and Sefardic laws.

If we had to summarize a generality for all Jews, it would be this statement by Rabbi Hillel:

"What is hateful to you, do not do to another. All the rest of the laws are just commentary. Now go study!"
