[Avodah] Taryag mitzvos

[Richard Wolberg]

"So how did Ya'akov avinu keep 613 mitzvos when it is impossible for any
individual to keep all 613 anyway?"

 

As a matter of fact, there are many mitzvos which we are not required to
observe. For instance, a "Get" is a mitzvah but that doesn't mean you have
to divorce your spouse.

 

Tzitzis is a mitzvah but d'oraita you don't have to wear tzitzis unless you
have a four cornered garment.

 

Shechita is a mitzvah, but you don't have to observe it if you don't eat
meat.

 

Mezuzah is a mitzvah, but you don't need a mezuzah if you live in your
automobile.

 

And so the list goes on...

 

Best regards/Kol tuv.
