It's a Mitzvah!: The 613 Commandments, a path to God

By Ilana Tucker

Book Overview

Explore the foundation of Jewish life through a clear and meaningful guide to the 613 mitzvot - the commandments that shape the covenant between God and the Jewish people.

Judaism teaches that each mitzvah (commandment) is a step toward spiritual growth, ethical living, and connection with the Divine. This book brings together the complete list of mitzvot - as traditionally compiled by Maimonides (Rambam) - and organizes them into clear, thematic categories to make study and understanding accessible to all.

Drawing on both classical and modern interpretations, It's a Mitzvah helps readers grasp not only what each commandment is, but also why it matters - revealing how every aspect of Jewish life, from belief and ritual to justice and compassion, expresses a sacred relationship with God.

Inside, you'll find:

A complete list of the 613 commandments, organized by theme and category.

Insightful summaries that explain the spiritual and ethical foundations of each group.

References to key Torah verses and traditional sources.

An approachable, visually clear layout for both study and reflection.

Whether you are a student of Judaism, a convert seeking to deepen understanding, or simply curious about the structure of Jewish faith and practice, It's a Mitzvah offers an inspiring and practical guide to the commandments that have guided Jewish life for millennia.
