 | | Judaism regards the violation of the mitzvot to be a "sin"; but note that the Jewish understanding of "sin" differs from that of other religions, see violations of Jewish law. |  | | The Mitzvot constitute the Divinely instituted "rules of conduct". |  | | All divine commandments, however, were given on Mount Sinai, and no prophet could add any new one (Midrash Sifra to Leviticus xxvii. |

 | | 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. |  | | 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. |  | | For commandments that can be observed today, there are also 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). |

| | Re-imagining a Mitzvah Practice |
 | | 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. |  | | Second, mitzvot are the Jewish form of spiritual discipline. |  | | We can see that mitzvot link us with our people and our tradition, with each other, and with God, as we come to understand God. |

| | Ohr Somayach :: Shavuot :: Taryag |
 | | The tradition of taryag mitzvot was developed by Rabbi Simlai of the Talmud, reasoning as follows: Scripture tells us that Moses commanded the Torah (Pentateuch) to the Children of Israel. |  | | 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. |  | | But on one thing there was consensus: the usefulness of the listing of the mitzvot as a medium for gaining a perspective of all the divine commandments included in the Torah's message to Jewry. |

| | Medieval Sourcebook: Maimonides: The 13 Principles and the Resurrection of the Dead |
 | | Thanks to this belief, one knows that the physical body, to which one dedicates one's entire effort in Torah and mitzvot, and for whose elevation one toils eighty or ninety years, is an eternal entity. |  | | Today when Jews find themselves in Gentile lands, their thirst for G-dliness is heightened, and they are able to awaken greater strength to fulfill mitzvot and enhance their ability to draw nearer to G-d. |  | | The purpose of the Torah and mitzvot is to bring G-dliness into an otherwise unG-dly world, thus consecrating all material existence. |
