What Is The Most Important Mitzvah in The Torah by Rabbi Marc Gitler

January 28 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm MST

$18

EVENT CO-SPONSORED BY: SHALOM PARK

ABOUT THE EVENT:

Judaism contains 613 mitzvot, each shaping Jewish life in its own way. But are some more central than others? In this lecture, we’ll explore how the Torah and later Jewish thinkers have grappled with the idea of prioritizing commandments. By examining key biblical passages and rabbinic teachings, we’ll ask what it might mean to identify a “most important” mitzvah, or a core set of values that anchor them all. Along the way, we’ll consider how these debates can help us clarify what Judaism asks of us—and how those priorities might guide Jewish life today.
