Modern Israel:
Israeli law today is not based on the Torah; it's a blend of Ottoman laws, British laws, and others. However, Jewish laws do still have an effect:
When Israel chose a national day of rest for schools and businesses, it chose Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath), not Sunday. Sunday is a full workday in Israel.
Many official functions are catered with kosher food. To purchase pork in Israel, or leavened bread on Passover, a person would have to make a serious search.
Torah-holidays such as Passover and Sukkot are celebrated everywhere, not just in private. Hanukkah-menorahs are often displayed outdoors.
Israeli coins have no human likenesses on them.
The majority of marriages and funerals are at least nominally religious.
Modern Israel uses the Hebrew calendar as well as the Gregorian one.
These are a few examples.
