Jesus was raised in the Jewish faith and would have been well aware of Jewish practices. But He came not to save the Jews, He came to save the world, Jews and Gentiles alike. That was the whole purpose for him to be born as a human, to die and finally to be resurrected, for the sins of every person ever born.
Jesus was a Jew so he probably believed in a host of traditional practices.
Messianic beliefs focus on the idea that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, while traditional Christianity views Jesus as the Savior for all people, not just the Jewish community. Messianic believers often incorporate Jewish customs and practices into their faith, while traditional Christianity follows more mainstream Christian teachings and practices.

That is commonly thought to have been the Essenes. The Essenes were a small sect who eventually disappeared from the Jewish community. They styled themselves "observant; pious ones." The normative, majority Jewish community viewed them as breakaways from the common stream of Jewish tradition, because of their non-traditional beliefs and practices. Their beliefs included an excessive amount of dabbling with the names of angels, messianic fervor, gnosticism and eschatological speculation; and their practices were more like Christian monasticism than the generally accepted Jewish way of living. The practices of the Essenes included vegetarianism, dwelling in isolated groups, communal ownership, monastic asceticism and avoidance of money, commerce and private property; and (among some of them) celibacy. Also, they had some forms of non-traditional observances (such as round phylacteries [tefillin]). Some researchers identify the Essenes as a form of early Christianity, taking also into account the fact that early Christianity was far from uniform and was, for a time, thought of by some as a kind of modified Judaism.
