Jewish Answer:

Jewish law, is traditionally required for all Jews, regardless of what they believe. It refers to the 613 Commandments of the Torah (first five books of The Bible). The 10 commandments known to Christians are only part of these laws.

Modern Jews vary in their interpretations of these Laws, but they can be summed up in this one statement made by Rabbi Hillel about 2100 years ago:

"What is hateful to you, do not do to another. All the rest is details. Now go study"

These laws cover everything in daily life, from eating to how we interact with people and nature. It is important to note that Jews to not believe these laws apply to non-Jews.

Christian answer:The answer to your question essentially fills the second half of Exodus (twenty chapters) and the book of Leviticus. The Hebrews were later reminded of the Law in Deuteronomy, and most of the Old Testament writings revolve around its keeping.

The apostle Peter had this to say about the requirements of the Law:

Acts 15:10 - Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? [NKJV]
