Inside the TORAH, there are :

1. COMMANDMENTS [מִצְווֹת - MITZVOT].
2. JUDGEMENTS [מִּשְׁפָּטִים - MISHPATIM].

3. STATUTES [חֻקָּים - CHUKKIM].

4. LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD [לֵוִי כֹּהֲנִים - LEVI COHANIM].

The first 3 are mentioned several times in Deu 4:1; Deu 4:40; Deu 4:45 etc. In our Torah Portion today, it is mentioned again in Deu 8:11.

Deu 8:11
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his COMMANDMENTS, and his JUDGEMENTS, and his STATUTES, which I command thee this day.

And regarding the LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD, it's all written in the book of Leviticus.

Yeshua, our Messiah said :

Mat 5:17

Think not that I am come to destroy the TORAH, or the PROPHETS: I am not come to destroy, but to FULFILL.

Yeshua did NOT destroy the TORAH. Amen? Amen!

We understand that the TORAH consists of COMMANDMENTS, JUDGEMENTS, STATUTES and LEVITICAL PREISTHOOD.

Can the COMMANDMENTS be FULFILLED? No! The COMMANDMENTS are for us to OBEY, not to be FULFILLED. Yochanan said that through the COMMANDMENTS we will know what SINS really are.
1Jo 3:4 

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the TORAH: for SIN is the transgression of the TORAH.

Can the JUDGEMENTS be FULFILLED? No! The JUDGEMENTS now are on the hand of Yeshua the Messiah.

Can the STATUTES be FULFILLED? No!

Can the LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD be FULFILLED? Yes! We are no longer sacrifice the animal, because it is impossible for the blood of animal to take away the sin.

Heb 10:4 

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

It's only by the blood of the Lamb of God, the Messiah Yeshua.

This is why Mat 5:17 says : that Yeshua come to FULFILL the PRIESTHOOD. The animal sacrifice is only a shadow to come until the Messiah comes as Rabbi Sha'ul says that it is impossible for the blood of animal to take away the sin.

Luk 24:44
And He (Yeshua) said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be FULFILLED, which were written in the TORAH of Moses, and in the PROPHETS, and in the PSALMS, concerning ME (Yeshua).

The TORAH, NEVI'IM and KETUVIM is all about Yeshua.

Consider this fact.

When Yeshua was being tempted in the wilderness by the Satan, what did Yeshua do? He used the TORAH. He quoted the TORAH.

The TORAH is never be abolished.

The Believers in the book of Acts, they BELIEVED in Yeshua and they were ZEALOUS also for TORAH.

Act 21:20

And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which BELIEVE; and they are all ZEALOUS of the TORAH.

Now the question is :
Is your congregation teaching you that TORAH was done away? If it is, then your congregation is not the same as in the book of Acts, the first Believers.
