For Jews:Though it may have an associated culture and one or more associated languages, the traditional definition of Judaism is the observance of the Torah, which is why dictionaries define Judaism as "the religion of Moses." In this sense, the word "Torah" is meant in its wider meaning, which includes the Tanakh, the Talmud, and other classical Jewish texts.
The philosophy of Judaism is that this world is a purposeful creation by God, in which all people are tested concerning their use of free-will. We possess a soul which lives on after the body dies and is held responsible for the person's actions. Anyone who is worthy, Jewish or not, can merit reward in the afterlife.
For non-Jews:
1) The majority of the mitzvot (commands) of the Torah do not obligate non-Jews.
2) Some mitzvot are obligatory upon non-Jews as well as Jews. This category includes seven commands (Talmud, Sanhedrin 56a): a] not to eat from an animal which is still alive; b] not to curse God; c] not to steal; d] to maintain courts of law; e] not to commit adultery or incest; f] not to worship idols; and g] not to murder. 3) There are certain mitzvot which are not explicitly commanded for non-Jews but which non-Jews are nonetheless expected to learn from and adopt. This category includes such examples as:a] going in the ways of God (Deuteronomy 28:9);
b] giving charity (Leviticus 25:35), and other ethical teachings (such as Leviticus 19:13-18);
c] learning from the lessons of history (Deuteronomy 32:7);
d] not to ignore reproof (Deuteronomy 10:16);
e] not to mindlessly follow mass behavior (Exodus 23:2); and more.
4) There are some things that are the universal tradition of mankind, so much so that the Torah doesn't command them at all, and considers them as being self-understood. These include burying the dead, not eating human flesh, belief in the afterlife, and more.

Many of the Torah's commands may also be considered a form of worship, since they imply praise of God.
