A REMINDER:
ALL LAWS NOTED WITH * INDICATE THEY’RE NEEDING TO BE
OMMITTED FROM THE LIST OF 613 LAWS DUE TO EITHER BEING ADDED ERRONEOUSLY OR A REPEAT
OF A PREVIOUS LAW IN THE JEWISH MAIMONIDE’S LIST.
ALL LAWS NOTED WITH ** INDICATE THE SCRIPTURE BEHIND THEM
STATES DIFFERENTLY THAN THE INTERPRETATION GIVEN IN MAIMONIDE’S LIST AND EITHER
THE STATED LAW NEEDS TO BE CHANGED OR THE SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE NEEDS TO BE
CHANGED.
ALL LAWS NOTED WITH *** WERE EITHER ONE TIME
LAWS OR LAWS THAT CAN NO LONGER BE KEPT DUE TO THE PRESENT CONDITION AND GEOGRAPHICAL
STATE OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL OR THE OCCUPATION OF OTHER NATIONS IN THE
LAND/DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE. IT’S
IMPORTANT TO NOTE, ALTHOUGH THESE LAWS CAN NO LONGER BE OBSERVED, THEY ARE
STILL VALID LAWS AT THE TIME OF DOCUMENTATION.
TODAY’S SCATTERED JEWS HOWEVER, NEED NOT FOCUS ON KEEPING THEM IN
THIS PRESENT DAY BUT INSTEAD, REMEMBER THEIR IMPORTANCE AT THE TIME THE NATION
OF ISRAEL WERE IN THE LAND.
My husband and I have read the 613 laws but are concerned about whether we're reading of credible sources as there are several sites on the Internet. Can you recommend your source to read the laws?
ReplyDeleteMaimonide's list is one of the more common sources for the Laws according to Judaism. However, Judaism has incorporated laws that are not Torah based. This blog is purposed to decipher which of the 613 are actually Torah based Laws.
