That is true partially, but Jesus certainly expounded on their meanings as taught by the then religious authorities.
For example: Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not commit murder, and whosoever shall commit murder shall be guilty of the judgment; but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother out of control shall be in danger of the judgment (Mat 5:21-22).
And of course, when Jesus talks about suffering in the face of persecution and turning the other cheek, I don't find that in the OT. Perhaps you might help me there, I don't find it.
He condemned the traditions of man and always pointed to the Holy Word of G-d
No He didn't. We have previously discussed this. Jesus only condemns traditions that move men AWAY from God. Thus, Jesus tells His Apostles to OBEY THOSE WHO SIT IN THE CHAIR OF MOSES...Where is that in Scriptures??? In addition, Jesus, at the end of Matthew's Gospel, says NOTHING about the written Word of God (nor do the other Gospels) when He commissions His Apostles to teach and preach ALL that He had taught them. Nothing about securing a printing press and distributing pamplets of the "Gospel" for private interpretation...

The Tanach is the Holy Word of G-d. Y'shua, who is the Word of G-d, taught from what we know as the Holy Word of G-d (the Tanach).
He initiated the New Covenant as prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31.

was to read the Tanach as it was written.
Jesus also never told the Apostles to meet on Sunday or called it the “Lord’s Day.” Yet, that is what the Apostles did while at the same time going to synagogue on the Sabbath.
Eventually, they ceased going to synagogue when it was destroyed in 70AD and the “Lord’s Day” became the Sabbath for Christians.
That Tradition of Men continues to this day with nearly every Christian denomination meeting on Sunday and observing it as the Sabbath.
The founders of this country, Christian men and women made it against the law to do business on Sunday because of the Sabbath and the commandment to “Keep it Holy.”
