The teachings of Jesus were not combined with Jewish traditions to make a new belief.

Jesus was clear in His teaching that he wasn't adding to what already existed.

Matthew 9:17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

Paul also makes it clear in his letters that the old ways of Judaism have finished, for example:

Galatians 3:24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

In the book of Hebrews the writer also makes it clear Christianity is not something that has been added to Jewish traditions:

Hebrews 8:6 But now He (Jesus) has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
