	613 mitzvot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the main source, of these 613, 248 mitzvot aseh (positive commandments) and 365 mitzvot lo taaseh (negative commandments).
		The sum of all numbers is 613, traditionally the number of mitzvot (commandments) in the Torah.
		Nahmanides held that this counting was the matter of a dispute, and that rabbinic opinion on this is not unanimous.

	Talk:613 mitzvot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Judaism section there are descriptions of the mitzvot, see link, hope to name the 613 here...Thanks User:IZAK, P.S. By the way, where do I find the "straight" typed line to insert inbeteween names on "User name"...Thanks.
		It does seem rather POV: in an article about the Rabbinic canon of mitzvot, not just about 'Pentateuchal law', surely a source-critical approach is not directly relevant.
		A response from FDuffy would be good, as I see good reason to not have this included on the page, despite the work he may have put in without consultation.

	The 613 Mitzvot
		What follows is a complete list of the 613 mitzvot (commandments) as they are laid down in the bible - they are presented here primarily for scholarly interest, as only orthodox Jews today attempt to follow the complete list.
		Orthodox Jews attempt to follow all the mitzvot - except those related to the Temple, its sacrifices and services (because the Temple does not exist) and criminal procedures (because the theocratic state of Israel does not exist).
		Observant reform and conservative Jews follow the more "universal" mitzvot, but practice their faith based on a modern framework and interpretation of these commandments, rather than the specifics of the biblical text.

	Judaism - Halakhah: Jewish Law
		Halakhah is made up of mitzvot from the Torah as well as laws instituted by the rabbis and long-standing customs.
		At the heart of halakhah is the unchangeable 613 mitzvot that G-d gave to the Jewish people in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible).
		Some of the mitzvot overlap; for example, it is a positive commandment to rest on Shabbat and a negative commandment not to do work on Shabbat.

		The positive mitzvot equal the number of parts of the body; the negative mitzvot correspond to the number of days in the solar year.
		Then one night he was commanded in a dream to write a book on the mitzvot which was to be divided into two sections: the positive commandments and the negative ones.
		Rabbi Shabtai considered a daily review of all the mitzvot as the ideal fulfillment of the prophetic command: "This book of the Torah shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall study therein day and night." He submitted his weekly plan only as a concession to those who couldn't keep the daily pace.

		Mitzvot are not just commandments from G-d: They are acts, beliefs and values designated by G-d to give mortals the opportunity and ability to spiritually elevate themselves—to connect with G-d.
		This “weakening”, or processing the human being’s natural drives that is at the philosophical core of circumcision, is also one of the universal concepts behind all mitzvot: the upgrading the base human being to the level where his lusts and pleasures are spiritual in nature.
		For the purpose of mitzvot is to live a life that consists of more than hunt and gather, and circumcision is symbolic of this purpose.

	The Logic of the Mitzvot \| Chabad.org > Parsha > Mishpatim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The chukkim are those mitzvot, such as the dietary laws or the laws of family purity, which we accept as divine decrees, despite their incomprehensibility and -- in the most extreme of chukkim -- their irrationality.
		At first glance, this seems to indicate that rabbinical mitzvot are less "real" than biblical ones; that while the biblical law affects the very nature of its subject, the rabbinical law is superimposed over human life, having the authority to command and instruct but not to define reality.
		The biblical mitzvot define the nature of our world, expressing the fact that their predominant element is the mitzvah's role as molder and illuminator of the created reality.

		Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken by 6 million people mainly in Israel, parts of the Palestinian territories, the United States and by Jewish communities around the world.
		Judaism affirms a number of basic principles of faith that one is expected to uphold in order to be said to be in consonance with the Jewish faith.
		Midrash halakha was the ancient rabbinic Jewish method of verifying the traditionally received laws by identifying their sources in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and by interpreting these passages as proofs of the laws authenticity.

	Re-imagining a Mitzvah Practice
		First, we redefine the purpose: Mitzvot are the Jewish way of paying attention ' to the truth of this moment, to the truth of our lives, to our highest sense of purpose.
		We teach and practice mitzvot in communities that consciously cultivate the divine middot, or attributes, of compassion, generosity, humility, and truthfulness through meditation, reflection, study of Hasidic and mussar texts, and social action.
		We can choose to take on the mitzvot that make us constantly conscious of that covenant, and to do them in a way that is consistent with our deepest humanitarian and ethical values.

	MISHPATIM - its special mitzvot
		These mitzvot are preceded by the pasuk "ve-anshei kodesh tihiyun li" (22:30) and reflect the behavior of a "mamlechet kohanim ve-goy kadosh" (see 19:5-6).
		Many of the mitzvot in Parshat Mishpatim from 22:26-23:19 could be viewed as 'sound-bytes' for entire 'parshiot' that expound on these mitzvot in Sefer Vayikra and Sefer Devarim.
		The closing mitzvot of 'shmitta', shabbat, and 'aliya la-regel' (23:10-19), are similarly based on a seven-day or seven-year cycle.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Daily Life: Contemporary Thinkers on Mitzvot
		Mitzvot are related to historic experiences in which the Jewish people sought to apprehend God’s nature and His will.
		Mitzvot thus emerge from the womb of Jewish history, from a series of sacred encounters between God and Israel.
		When a Jew performs one of the many life-acts known as mitzvot to remind himself of one of those moments of encounter, what was only episodic becomes epochal, and what was only a moment in Jewish history becomes eternal in Jewish life.

		He explained that the root of all mitzvot, in terms of their inner purpose, is in the Land of Israel.
		These mitzvot maintain the holiness of the people, so that when they return to the Land, they will not need to re-invent their culture and ways.

	Judaism 101: List of the 613 Mitzvot
		It is based primarily on the list compiled by Rambam in the Mishneh Torah, but I have consulted other sources as well.
		For commandments that can be observed today, I have also provided citations to the Chafetz Chayim's Concise Book of Mitzvot (CCA refers to affirmative commandments; CCN refers to negative commandments; CCI refers to commandments that only apply in Israel).
		Commandments that cannot be observed today primarily relate to the Temple, its sacrifices and services (because the Temple does not exist) and criminal procedures (because the theocratic state of Israel does not exist).

	Obligation of Women to Perform the Commandments
		There are believed to be three different kinds of mitzvot: those that are inclusive to everyone (observing Shabbat), those that are gender based (having children), and those that are gender based but not related to biological differences (reading Torah).
		As for the positive commandments (mitzvot asay) women must perform virtually all the commandments not structured by time, and are exempted from those mitzvot that are restricted by time (mitzvot asay she’hazeman gerama).
		However, many rabbis follow the view of Maimonides and the Talmud which specifically lists five time-bound mitzvot not required to be performed by women: residing in the sukkah, raising the lulav on Sukkot, listening to the shofar on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and wearing tzitzit or tefillin.

	Insight 5758-1: The Question of Dual Moralities
		The relationship of the Sheva Mitzvot B'nei Noach, the Noachide Code incumbent upon all humanity, to the Taryag Mitzvot, incumbent upon Jews, is one that demands further investigation.
		On the surface, the Halachic Code of 613 mitzvot would seem to be, simply, an expansion upon the 7 mitzvot that bind all Mankind.
		Proponents of this view would seem to perceive the relationship between the Sheva Mitzvot and Taryag in a manner similar to the way they would view the relationship, within Halacha, between acting lifnim meshurat hadin, beyond the letter of the law, and acting according to din, the law.

		The request we make to be elevated though mitzvot also tells us that being kadosh through the mitzvot is something we should desire.

		Thus, mitzvot are the primary way for Jews to accomplish this goal.

	j. - All mitzvot are of equal importance to the Divine and our lives
		In other words, if you hearken to the minor mitzvot that are stepped on by some with their heels, so to speak, then you will earn these rewards.
		Although we know that all mitzvot are of equal importance (the seemingly “minor” ones as well as the major ones), the fact is that we do sometimes consider certain mitzvot as minor because we fail to realize what they involve.
		As a corollary, if we do mitzvot purely because they are divinely ordained, rather than because we ourselves judge them to be wise and valuable, we will see no distinction between minor and major commandments and we will observe all of them with equal gravity.

	Judaism 101: The Role of Women
		In Jewish tradition, there are three mitzvot (commandments) that are reserved for women: nerot (lighting candles), challah (separating a portion of dough), and niddah (ritual immersion after the end of a woman's menstrual period).
		All of these mitzvot are related to the home and the family, areas where the woman is primarily responsible.
		The first of these women's mitzvot is nerot (literally, "lights") or hadlakat ha-ner (literally, "lighting the lights"), that is, the privilege of lighting candles to mark the beginning of the shabbat or a holiday.

		According to Rashi, we assume mitzvot as being superior to Torah and question the validity of praising for mitzvot and withholding praise for Torah study.
		At funerals we readily acclaim mitzvot and necessarily Torah study (a lesser accomplishment) but withhold praise regarding teaching Torah to others which is assigned the highest value.
		The Yerushalmi in Berakhot perek 2 writes of someone who learns without intent to fulfill the mitzvot that "it is better that he had not been born." Intent to translate Torah into performance of mitzvot is a basic qualification of Torah study itself.

		This final section now concludes with two such mitzvot: "mikra bikkurim" - the declaration recited by a farmer upon bringing his first fruits to the Bet Hamikdash, and "viduy ma'aser" - the formal declaration recited every three years affirming one's compliance with the laws of "ma'asrot" (tithes).
		Additionally, Moshe urges Bnei Yisrael to observe the mitzvot "with all your heart and soul," a phrase taken from the earlier, MITZVAH section of his speech.
