Why do Israel’s children still try to keep the Commandments for righteousness with Elohim?

Question was asked in a religious forum “…why [are] these people of Israel still keeping the ten commandments even though the covenant was faulted[?]”

Explanation,

Israel’s children rejected Messiah Yeshua sent to them (Matthew 15:24) and chose self-righteousness through law-keeping (Torah Law-Sinai-Moses) as opposed to faith in the One who kept the Law for us (Matthew 5:17) and offers us His righteousness imputed-gifted into and over our lives by faith in Him as Messiah; this, in exchange for our sin via New Covenant promise (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:7); therefore, Israel has stumbled over the Stumbling Stone laid in Zion (Romans 9:32); therefore, only a remnant of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due unbelief (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Rev 20:11-15); for this error, Israel’s children have been placed under Judgment, the Gospel taken from them and given to the Gentiles until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom of Elohim (Romans 11:25). This divine reality is relevant and observable to this very day. Yeshua is the only Way to life in the Kingdom of Elohim and this divine reality is an immutable Truth for Jew, Israelite, Gentile (John 14:6).

30 What shall we say, then That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is.
