Every adult Jew is obligated to perform all 248 positive and 365 negative mitzvahs of the Torah. The sheer volume of mitzvahs can seem overwhelming and that raises a question: why would God in His Infinite wisdom see it necessary to task us with the performance of so many mitzvahs? Would not one mitzvah suffice? Is not the potential for failure so astoundingly exacerbated when there are hundreds of mistakes just waiting to happen? Why is Judaism so exhaustively encompassing? These questions were pondered 2000 years ago and the answer will challenge everything you think you know about the Almighty’s commandments.
