2	613 Mitzvot Applied Today
3	Below is a list of the 613 mitzvot (commandments). It is based primarily on the list compiled by Mammonides in the Mishneh Torah Mammonides's list is probably the most widely accepted list, but it is not the only one. The order is my own, as are the explanations of how some rules are derived from some biblical passages.
4	For each mitzvah, I have provided a citation to the biblical passage or passages from which it is derived, based primarily on Mammonides. For commandments that can be observed today, I have also provided citations to the Chafetz Chayim's Concise Book of Mitzvot (CCA refers to affirmative commandments; CCN refers to negative commandments; CCI refers to commandments that only apply in Israel). Commandments that cannot be observed today primarily relate to the Temple, its sacrifices and services (because the Temple does not exist) and criminal procedures (because the theocratic state of Israel does not exist).
