‘They did away with what became known a “Talmudic Law”.’
They? Surely ‘they’ made this clear in the Bible.
‘.....many folks are confused when it comes to this “Law” thing.’
Not to be uncharitable, but I think you are one of them. Christ’s sacrifice was sufficient and it the only thing that is.

O.K., you are having problems understanding something that is actually quite simple. Let's try again!
[Colossians 2:14][Ephesians 2:15] These verses do not do away with God's laws. The term ordinance is the Greek word "Dogma" and refers to human laws and decrees. [Mark 7:7-8] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Can you see that He is speaking of "Talmudic" Law?
Our Lord referred to these Pharisees as hypocrites in verse 6. In verse 13 He says they have nullified the word of God through their tradition.....their Talmudic interpretations! This was the law that Our Saviour nailed to the cross with his atoning sacrifice!
His death also did away with animal sacrifice and eliminated other priestly duties [Hebrews 7:12]....but there still remained the law. Again....Our Saviour said He had not come to do away with....but fulfill [Matthew 5:17]. Paul refers to this Law as "Holy, just and good" [Romans 7:12].
[Deuteronomy 4:40] Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever. God's laws are with us forever. Man's laws....."Dogma"....come and go. If you cannot see the difference I'll just say.....blessings to you and your household.
