The Taryag Mitzvot - a list of 613 laws or commandments (made up of 665 negative commandments that tell Jews what they should not do and 248 positive commandments telling Jews what they should do). A large number of these commandments cannot be observed today, following the destruction of the Temple, leaving 77 negative and 194 positive. 26 of these apply only in Israel and women - who are considered closer to G-d than are men in Judaism - are exempt from some, such as that to wear tefillin.

In addition to the Mitzvot, there is the Talmud which comprises of two parts - the Mishnah, a written compendium of Jewish oral law, and the Gemara which is made up of discussions of the finer points of Mishnah.
