the 613 mitzvot

This book is exactly what I wanted. One comment, not serious: the mitzot are listed as so many positive and son many negative which makes it difficult to compare to lists that put all 613 in a single list.The comments on individual mitzvah are excellent.

A precise and rare study of the Jewish honor to the Commandments

The 613 Mitzvot: A Contemporary Guide to the Commandments Of Judaism is a precise and rare study of the Jewish honor to the Commandments. This intricate work by Judaic Studies author Ronald L. Eisenberg produces extensive knowledge of the 613 commandments of Judaism, the 248 Positive and 365 Negative, and beautifully explains the adherence and reasoning, both currently and historically as to what reasoning the Jewish compliants have to follow such scripture. Inclusive of Jewish commentaries from the Sages of the Mishnah, this highly explorative book is a strong recommendation for theological students, and those Judaic Studies reference collections. Also highly recommended are Ronald Eisenberg's two previous works, The Jewish World In Stamps and The JPS Guide To Jewish Traditions.
