That brings us to the sticky question of just which Jews are covered by the Old Covenant now. At the present, my money is on the Orthodox, but I'm not sure about it at all. It is fuzzy to me about which dietary laws, feasts, ordinances must be followed today in order to "qualify". I suppose the various Jewish sects differ about it, too. I know the Conservative Jews, here at least, still follow the ritual handwashing ceremony after a Jewish burial. My friend's family, I know for fact not only did not keep kosher (although they patronized the kosher butcher when we had one here) and ate ham and bacon. I don't know if that would place them outside the fold or not. Of course, I would hope not. They did use a lot of kosher food, probably because they were brought up on it.
I like matzo :-). Sure is bland but good to munch on if it's nice and crispy.
Yes, I like matzoh too. Have you ever heard the song Matzoh Number 5, which is based on the tune Mambo number 5? It’s a favorite of mine. It moves around the net, but I just googled it and I think you can find it here:

As for what Jews need to do to keep the covenant, I guess that’s up to them. My sympathies are also with the Orthodox.
In the Book of Acts, Peter called the apostles and other disciples together for what was later called the Council of Jerusalem, and they determined that the Jewish ritual laws need no longer be followed by non-Jews who wanted to join the Church. In particular, circumcision was no longer required of them, a question that had been raised by Paul. A few other ritual rules were maintained: no sacrifices to idols, no eating meat with the blood still in it, the latter rule also later dropped by the Church.
