The traditions of Judaism include its beliefs and its laws and practices, of which the holy days are one part. These all have the role of making Judaism what it is, since without them, Judaism becomes a mere cultural phenomenon that evaporates within a couple of generations (as history has shown). See also:

In the future what role do you think holy days and other traditions will play in Judaism?

The wording "and other traditions" is so inclusive that we may answer "holy days and other traditions are what constitutes Judaism."To answer a little more specifically:1) The holy days are part of Judaism, since they are a portion of the Torah (Leviticus ch.23). They're among God's commands. In addition, they remind us of what God did for us in the past; they inject happiness into our year, and they add to the cohesion of our families and communities.2) Traditions are vital to Judaism, since without them the religion would be lifeless. It would be merely a historical curiosity like the hieroglyphics which have no living tradition. Without our tradition, the Hebrew Bible would be undecipherable in many of its oblique details.
