Hey there! Let’s talk mitzvot 🕊️—what they are, why they matter, and how they can bring incredible meaning to your life. Ready? Let’s dive in!
What’s a Mitzvah? 🤔 The word mitzvah comes from the Hebrew root צוה (tzav), meaning "command" or "connection." Think of mitzvot as 613 unique ways to connect with Hashem 🛤️, bridging the physical and spiritual worlds.
While the Torah lists 613 mitzvot, many of them cannot be observed today because we don’t have the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple). But here’s the great news: there are still plenty of mitzvot we can and should observe today.
Mitzvot: More Than the Basics ✡️ We often focus on the big mitzvot:
🕯️ Keeping Shabbat 🍷 Keeping kosher 🌀 Wearing tefillin But there are hundreds more that are just as important! Hashem expects us to fulfill all the mitzvot that apply today, not just the ones we hear about the most.
Your Next Step 📖 Want to know which mitzvot you can observe now? Check out The Concise Book of Mitzvoth (Sefer Hamitzvot Hakasar) by the Chofetz Chaim. This book breaks it all down for you: ✅ 77 positive mitzvot you can do right now 🚫 194 negative mitzvot to avoid today
It’s an amazing guide to help you learn and appreciate each mitzvah—and incorporate them into your life.
Want to Go Deeper? 💡 If you’re curious about the why behind mitzvot, I recommend reading Derech Hashem (The Way of God) by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. This masterpiece explains: ✨ The spiritual purpose of mitzvot ✨ The soul’s connection to Hashem ✨ How our actions elevate the world
Why It Matters NOW 💪 Every mitzvah you do strengthens your connection with Hashem 🕊️, brings blessings into the world ✨, and helps protect Klal Yisrael and all God-fearing people 🌍. It’s that powerful.
Start small. One mitzvah at a time. Each step matters!
📩 Have questions? Need guidance? I’m here for you. Let’s journey together!
