Torah sheb'al peh, the oral law (Mishnah and Talmud) are what makes it possible for Jews to observe the Biblical laws. For one example, without the Oral Torah, the forms of work forbidden on Sabbath would not be defined. Similarly, details would be missing in every one of the mitzvoth (Divine commands).
