When I was little, one of my relatives moved to a new home, whose address was 613. (No, the street name was not Torah Avenue…) I remember being amazed: Wow, for a frum family to have such an address! What hashgachah!
Indeed, whenever a frum Jew randomly (although nothing is ever really random…) comes across the number 613 in everyday life, it always evokes wonder. The baby whose birth weight was 6 lbs., 13 oz. The important phone call/text/email that came through at exactly 6:13 p.m. The social security number whose last 3 digits were 613. As the number of mitzvos in the Torah, 613 is just a “Jewish number,” and we all feel a connection to it.
But how many of us actually know each of the 613 mitzvos? Of course we all know many of them, but to be able to list all 613?
Now you could do just that, no matter if you are an adult or child!
613 Mitzvos Illustrated is a groundbreaking English book that lists and explains every single one of the 613 mitzvos, based on the order and reasons of the Sefer Hachinuch. It is written in a clear, easy-to-comprehend style, and fully illustrated.
With this book, any family, class, or group could easily begin a “Learn the 613 Mitzvos” program, tackling the learning of 1 mitzvah at a time. You’ll be surprised at how simple—and fun—it can be to master them all!
And you’ll find that your personal connection to the significant number of 613 will deepen even further…
