It's a Mitzvah!: The 613 Commandments, a path to God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781520967080)

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.
