Judaism Key Concepts

Which do pupils already know?Slide25
It’s a MitzvahSlide26
MITZVAH (mitzvot)The Talmud refers to 613 mitzvot in the Torah. This number is represented by the number of knots on the tallit which is worn by many Jews during worship. Today it is impossible to keep all 613 mitzvot as many were connected with religious practices in th
e Temple
which has been destroyed.
For
Orthodox Jews keeping the mitzvot is an important principle of Judaism. Although many Reform Jews will also try to keep the mitzvot many consider that some are no longer relevant to 21st century lifestyle. Decisions about which ones to observe are often based upon individual decision making.
Just as in the Ten Commandments the mitzvot either show how
humans
should relate to God
or
how humans should relate to other humans
