They left the law of Moses a long time ago. The law. The law. That was their problem. They gave outward shows of obeying the law but it was all fake, mainly the leaders, why do you think Jesus took exception to the Jewish rulers so often? After the destruction of the temple in 70AD, they were screwed and couldn't do their thing anymore, that is when synagogues become their place of worship and rabbis became their leaders, and those rabbis loved the power and deference they got just like the previous leaders.
The law CONDEMNS us, faith in the blood of Jesus saves us. If you live by the law you will die by the law for it condemns you.

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Rom 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Rom 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Rom 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Rom 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
