Oh there's a bunch of examples of them trying to jew god.
For example, they're supposed to keep the sabbath day holy by refusing to do various sorts of work, including carrying things between "domains" such as from one house to another, or from a house to a place of work. To get around this they rig string up around their ghettos to symbolically create a boundary, so public spaces are technically part of the same "room" and they can go from house to house or enter businesses without restriction.
Another thing they're not supposed to do is light a fire. This also includes switching lights on, or using an oven, so they hire a gentile (shabbos goy) to do it for them and just kind of gently hint "it would be nice if the food was warm" or "wow it's getting dark in here."
Unfortunately this doesn't work in certain spaces where goyim aren't supposed to be at all, like temples. So they have special light switches that have a random chance of working when you press them. Because it's possible you won't turn the light on when you hit the switch, it counts as an accident if you do so it's not a sin.
My absolute favorite though are the rabbinic trash bags. Rabbis are prohibited from handling corpses, to keep them pure in the eyes of god. Probably this was a sensible tradition to stop community leaders from spreading disease, but eventually they took it to extremes and declared rabbis couldn't enter graveyards.
Flash forward a few hundred years and air travel is now so common and expected that rabbis can't get around it. BUT WAIT! WHAT IF WE ACCIDENTALLY FLY OVER A GRAVEYARD!!! Apparently graveyard death rays point straight up and easily punch through aluminium airframes, but there's a fortunate solution: The rabbi wraps himself up in a plastic bag for the duration of the flight, which is enough to deflect the death rays and keep him pure: https://failedmessiah.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b71f69e2017d42ce8b90970c-400wi
Any covenant they have with god or commonsense tradition, they'll either jew their way around it or take it to neurotic extremes even a hardcore OCD nut would call crazy.
Also, doesn't strictly come under the category of jewing god, but I have a story about rabbi panty sniffers if you like.
I've heard some of these before, and I see it as nothing short of mass induced schizophrenia.
"We have bested the powerful invisible entity that gave us arbitrary instructions by performing nonsensical rituals. We are very smart!"
I see them more as being like nervous tics. They have a bunch of them which aren't even religious, like carrying around a piece of paper in their hat.
I am very interested in the rabbi panty-sniffers
Ok, so they have a rule saying men can't have sex with their wives on their period. Seems sensible enough, but of course they take it to extremes. Instead of the woman just deciding for herself when her period starts and ends, a rabbi has to decide. In order for him to know, she has to wear a white cloth in her underwear and bring it to him to examine. If there's any stain, odour or discolouration... no sex for another week! It's like some kind of pervy groundhog's day.
There's also some weird rules loopholes about adultry, so her husband could potentially be out chasing chiksas while his wife is at home hoping the rabbi will be pleased with the sniff of her panties this week.
Now I really want to become a rabbi

That legitimately made ma lol. It's like Ash in Army of Darkness saying "Nicto cough cough there, I said it!"
Pretty much. Oh and there's loads of stories like where they pay rabbis to perform ritual services like disposing of holy items or certifying kosher food and... jews gonna jew, they cheat their own parishioners.
