Mat 15:3 And He answered and said to them, "And why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

This is a passage that should be memorized by every believer. Man-made traditions should not be compelled or be imposed upon the worship of Elohim. To obey such things is to add to Torah. That is strictly forbidden.

Deut 4:2 “You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Paul speaks of these man-made traditions also
Col. 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
Col 20-23 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

Titus 1:13-14 This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely that they may be sound in the faith, 14not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

Traditions may be fine. But they cannot be put on the same level as the Torah of the Father. They cannot be aligned as mandatory or compulsory in our lives in order to please the Father. That is what Yeshua is going to scold the Pharisees for in this chapter.
