"And if some of the branches were cut off and you, a wild olive tree, were grafted in their place, and you have become a partaker of the roots and of the fat of the olive tree"
The above Scripture means that the Jews were intended to be the first to believe in Jesus (the promised son of Abraham, the promised blessing, the subject of the Prophets) but unbelief was causing them to miss out. Meanwhile Gentiles were believing and experiencing it. It doesn't mean Gentiles are meant to start keeping Moses' Feasts.
The Law wasn't the root. If the Law was the root, the Jews wouldn't have been cut off - because they were still keeping the Law (up until AD70). The root was God, and His Promises, and the Prophecies, and His Son Jesus who fulfilled them all. That's what the root is. That's Who the Root is!
