613 Mitzvot
are based primarily on the list compiled by
Rambam in the Mishneh Torah.
The Jewish People
are enjoined to observe the 613 Divine commencement
inscribed in the holy Torah, but with the destruction
of the Beith HaMikdash and the dispersion of the Nation,
observance of many of the mitzvaoth has become impossible.
In righteous modern Jew who wish to fulfill his obligations
to his Creator would have great difficulty in deciding
which Torah commandments pertain today and which do
not.
To facilitate contemporary
mitzvah-observance, the venerable Chafetz Chayim complied
his Sefer HaMitzvah the positive and negative commandments
applicate in our time, along with his own incisive
commentary.
