The Ten Commandments
There are many. Here are a few: the Torah scroll is God's testimony and covenant and is to be treated with respect. It should not be allowed to fall, it should be kept in an ark used only for that purpose, it is covered with a decorative mantel, it is to be read in public at regular intervals, it is written only by hand, with a specific traditional kind of ink, the letters have exact traditional shapes; and more.
Some examples of the rules (commands) in the Torah:
Putting on Tefillin (phylacteries) in the morning
The sukkah-booth during Sukkot
Avoiding leavened products in Passover
Keeping kosher
Not eating on Yom Kippur
Not working on the Shabbat
Paying workers on time
Marital rights for one's wife

Counting the days of the Omer
Returning lost objects when feasible

Affixing a mezuzah to the door
Learning Torah
Marrying and having children
Educating one's children in Judaism
Giving tzedakah (charity)
Honoring one's parents
And many more.
The laws have various reasons. Some (such as the Passover) serve to reenact or remember events of our history.
Some (such as saying the Shema-prayer) serve to reiterate our belief in God.
Some of the laws (such as those of ritual purity and kosher food) serve to sanctify us.
Some (such as the laws of torts) serve to maintain an orderly and just society.
Some (such as the law against breaking a vow) serve to prevent bad character traits.
Some (such as the command to offer help) serve to engender good character traits.
And all of the commands serve to subjugate us to God's will (especially those commands for which no explanation is easily apparent).
