In The Mitzvah Podcast we will survey these 613 mitzvos in the order in which they appear in the Torah, and for each outline the basic parameters of the mitzvah, offer possible rationales for why we are required to do or refrain from that particular action, and share some of the relevant teachings from our great Sages on that mitzvah.
