Judaism believes that the Torah was G-d given for the benefit of mankind. Jews are obligated in 613 Mitzvot (Torah laws). Each is related to various walks of life. Some of the Mitzvot are geared towards relationships and dealings with fellow man, and others are geared towards a person's relationship with G-d. All are intended to bring a person to perfection via fear and love of G-d.
