yes. There are 613 laws of The Bible, and Jews are commanded to observe them. Read the book of Leviticus in the Bible because that's where most of them are. About 75% of them are not fulfillable because the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE. Of the remaining 25%, certain of them pertain only to men and other pertain only to women.

What were the basic teachings of Judaism concerning the law and mortality?

Judaism has a lot of laws, but actually concerning the law, Judaism really only has two rules: study it and obey it. (Studying means both learning pre-existent laws and trying to further understand and interpret.) As for mortality. Judaism holds that mortality is part of the human condition since Adam's departure from the Garden. Judaism implores people to accept their mortality, but to consistently push to extend life and improve life in this world. Judaism also teaches that when the Messiah comes, eternal life will be granted to the righteous.

How is Judaism different?

It depends entirely on what you are comparing Judaism to. If you are comparing modern forms of Judaism to ancient forms of Judaism, there are several differences. Judaism has had to adapt to not having the Great Temple in Jerusalem and to being mostly in countries where Judaism was not the majority religion. As a result, a number of rules specifically dealing with the Great Temple are no longer followed. Additionally, the Rabbis wanted to protect the observance of the Torah Laws by creating additional, more restrictive laws to prevent unintentional breaking of the Torah Laws. Finally, there was also the recent development of Liberal Judaism, which represents a fundamental shift in Jewish observance and belief. Using modern, and non-Jewish ideas to influence the way in which Judaism should develop.
