I don't know exactly what you want, so I'll give you a few basic facts: Kosher animals have to have split hooves and chew their cud. Women have to cover their hair after they get married. You have to wear modest clothes. You can't drive, use electricity, carry things outside your house, and many other things on the Sabbath.
If you want more answers go on askmoses.com.
