Best Answer

People who have always keep the Mitzvot, or have been doing so for a while, do not find it hard to follow them - and often do so without paying much attention. That said, every once in a while a Jew will find himself unwilling/unable to follow a mitzva as it seems "too hard". The real reward comes from keeping the mitzvot when they seem "too hard". Newcomers may find some of the details daunting or some of the prohibitions restricting.

What is the purpose in obeying mitzvot?

Before explaning why we follow the mitzvot (pl), one must first understand what a mitzvah is. Although the word mitzvah is most often translated as 'commandment', this isn't an accurate translation. The more accurate translation is 'guideline'. That being said, the mitzvot are the guidelines that HaShem (The Creator) gave the Jews for living life. We follow these mitzvot as a way to live our lives in a righteous manner.


Do orthodox Jews follow all of the 613 commands of the Old Testament?

As Jews, Orthodox or otherwise, do not accept the validity of the Christian Old Testament, they do not follow anything in that text. The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach which is what the Christian Old Testament was based on. Within the Tanach, prevailing tradition holds that there 613 mitzvot or guidelines. Of these guidelines, many are tribe specific, job specific, gender specific, and location specific so all 613 mitzvot do not apply to any one person. Individuals observe those mitzvot that are applicable to them as an individual.

Who follows the 613 Jewish commandments?

Of course it is, and that is by design. Many of the mitzvot (correctly translated as guidelines) are job, tribe, gender, and/or location specific. For example, mitzvot that apply to farming, are only relevant to farmers, it would be ridiculous to apply such mitzvot to someone who works as a store owner in a city. Other mitzvot only apply to Temple life so without the Temple, these laws don't apply to anyone and so on.

Why different laws for Jews and Gentiles I know Gentiles have Noahide Laws to follow but why dont they have to follow the mitzvot and other complex rules Why do Jews have to do more to get to heaven?

Jews and Gentiles (non-Jews) follow different religions and generally each group does not recognize the validity of the other's religious practices. Although the Christian religions are descended from Judaism, they are not Jewish and do not believe that some of the Jewish practices are correct or necessary, so they don't follow them.There are also Gentiles who are not Christians. These would include Muslims, Hindus, Zoroastrians, and others. Those Gentiles will not have even so called Noahide Laws.Note:"Getting to heaven" is a Christian concept, and is not a Jewish motive for observing the Torah's mitzvot.
