The 613 Mitzvot
Kotel











          

 

this is still a work in progress, as I am going to clean up the formatting a bit and add links to the footnotes.  However feel free to read what I have here thus far, as the content will not change.  Blessings

          

 

The 613 Mitzvot

           While this list is mainly compiled using the order laid out on jewfaq.org (whose choices of division I like) based primarily on Rambam’s interpretation as well as other sources, I have made some changes of my own that I believe are more scripturally accurate.  This I do not out of any form of disrespect for tradition, but rather to put forth what HaShem has laid on my heart to do; this is, simply, to put the commands back in their proper place in the Torah, and what I feel, is their original intention that HaShem has meant for them.  I admonish the reader to seek the Ruach in their own life and compare what I have done here with the scriptures.  Baruch Ha’ba B’Shem Adon!
