Exchange with Elsie Rodd about Number of Mitzvot Applicable on Daily Basis (1967)
Dear Rabbi Lamm, We are using "The Symposium – Issues of Faith" from the winter edition of Dimension, as the bais for study. We have hardly begun and we are already involved in discussion over one of your statements. In the Discussion Guide it is noted, as follows: "Rabbi Lamm states that "only about forty of the 613 mitzvot are still applicable." Which forty? I have the Schulchan Arukh published by Pardes (2 vol – 1952) so, if just listing the pages will simplify your answer – please do that.I am sure you are extremely busy but, if you can find time to answer it would be very much appreciated.Respectfully yours,Elsie Rodd20501 Tracey Ave. Detroit, Michigan 48235
