Jesus himself did not, he only preached about common beliefs of the time, such as the Essenic beliefs, which were later removed from Judaism. However, later Paul removes many of the Jewish aspect from Christianity, such as keeping Kosher, so that Christianity would be more appealing to Gentiles. Furthermore, when Constantine permits Christianity in Rome, Christianity gains some Roman culture.

A NT perspective:Some examples of Jesus' departures from Jewish traditions:

He allowed His disciples to pluck and eat from a field they passed by, thus violating the Sabbath (Matt. 12:1, 2)

He healed on the Sabbath, which the Jewish leaders considered "unlawful" (Matt. 12:10)

He ate with "sinners" (Matthew 9:10, 11)

His disciples didn't observe ritualistic washing (Mark 7:2, 3)

The disciples didn't fast while Jesus was with them (Matthew 9:14, 15)

It's important to note that Jesus did not violate the spirit of the Law of Moses in any way. His "departures from tradition" were for the purpose of putting "tradition" in its place as non-binding "commandments of men" as opposed to the divine will of God (Matthew 15:9).
