Hebrews 10:8-10 (KJV)
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Continuing a theme that is dominant throughout the book of Hebrews, the Apostle here sets forth that; the Old Testament law must be taken away (for righteousness) in order that the New Testament promise of sanctification through the offering of Christ might be established.
Those so-called Christians who insist on promoting and/or practicing Jewish rituals really serve only to dull[1] the glory of the sacrifice of Christ.
God did not add faith in Christ to the Old Testament rituals. God took away all that was Old Testament law (for the sake of earning righteousness-there is much to learn by way of example in the law). God removed it. God did away with it and replaced it with something brand new.
It is no spiritual thing to embrace Jewish tradition and Jesus Christ.
It is instead a wicked and errant thing.
