The question is based upon a false premise. For example this scene from "My Cousin
Vinny"

Prosecutor: "All right, all right. Now, Miss Vito, being an expert on general
automotive knowledge, can you tell me what would the correct ignition timing be on
a 1955 Bel-Air Chevrolet with a 327 cubic inch engine and a four-barrel carburetor?

Miss Vito: "Chevy didn’t make a 327 in ’55. The 327 didn’t come out till ’62, and it
wasn’t offered in a Bel-Air with a four-barrel carb ’til ’64."

● Heb 8:13 . .When God speaks of a new covenant, it means He has made the first
one obsolete. It is now out of date and ready to be put aside.

Although Moses' covenant is obsolete, it hasn't been put aside: not yet. Millions of
Jews are still under its jurisdiction because that is their covenant by default (Deut
29:10-15) and according to Ezek 20:33-38 numbers of the Diaspora will be granted
entry into Messiah's kingdom on the basis of their compliance with the first
covenant. Those non compliant will be sent elsewhere.

That's not true, your last sentence.

Which Old Testament laws no longer apply?

They all apply to Christians, but none of them do. Let me explain. Jesus' death did away with the external, national forms of the laws like clean and unclean foods. However, the inner principles or ideas of those same laws carry over to the New Testament like Jesus' equation of lust with adultery and anger with murder in his Sermon on the Mount. "You shall not murder" equates with our need to protect and nurture life. The new covenant is not entirely new, but it is suited for an international church's godly guidelines instead of the nation of Israel's national law.
