| The 613 Commandments |
- By Rabbi Moses Maimonides
- Translated by Rabbi
Dr. Charles B. Chavel
-
- Sefer Ha-Mitzvoth (The
Book of Divine Commandments) in which Maimonides formulated all
the Commandments pertaining to the Jewish religion, has been
translated into English for the first time by Rabbi Dr. Charles B. Chavel. Rabbi Chavel
has given us an excellent English version of this classic of
Judaism. Besides the original text of Maimonides, Rabbi Chavel has made each and every
Commandment the subject
of a clearly stated resume. These resume's are the results of
wide research, and quoting of many authorities...
- The work is invaluable
to anyone making a comprehensive study of the Jewish religion,
or of religion in general. Rabbi Chavelis is to be highly commended for his scholarly
and dignified presentation.

One of the most important
books on Judaism... This two-volume
set is the most authoritative English translation of Moses Maimonides'
Sefer Ha-Mitzvoth (Book of the Commandments). In this, one of
his major works, Maimonides explains the basic principles used
in determining which precepts were to be included in the taryag
(613) mitzvoth, then lists and comments on those commandments.
Providing an encyclopedic knowledge of rabbinic literature, this
work is a brilliant presentation of the most fundamental teachings
of Judaism.Judaism, as is well
known, has been the mother-religion of the western world...But
what is Judaism? What are its elementary and fundamental teachings?
These questions have often been asked by laymen and scholars both
Jewish and non-Jewish. Moses Maimonides, one of the most illustrious
sons of Israel, gave a clear-cut, almost scientific, answer in
his Sefer Ha-Mitzvoth (The Book of Divine Commandments).
Rabbi Chavel has given us a lucid translation of this classic
of Judaism. The late Rabbi Dr. Issac Herzog, former Chief Rabbi
of Israel has appraised Rabbi Chavel's translation as a distinguished
addition to Anglo-American Jewish literature.
