How Many Chances Do You Get When it Comes to a Mitzvah?
June 28th, 2010

Dear Allison,

There are 613 Mitzvot which is a lot of rules to follow (although not all apply at this time). What happens if you break a mitzvah, e.g. you ate a bacon sandwhich? Would that mean that there's no point in you following that specific mitzvah any more because you've already disobeyed it and God gives you marks out of 613? Or are you allowed to break them, but you have to try to not break them in the future and God looks at what you did for the majority of the time? And also - are the Mitzvot supposed to benefit you in this life or after you die?...Hope that's not too many questions!

Thank you,

Lucy
