I can’t do all 613?

When you start going through the list of the 613 commandments, you will find yourself asking, “but i can’t do all 613?”. This is because some of them are only for Jewish Kings and others for only Kohanim. Some are only applicable to when the Beis Hamikdosh was up and running. How then can each individual achieve completion with all 613 that parallels the human body – the 248 positive commandments to the 248 limbs and the 365 negative commandments to the 365 sinews? Here we come to an important principle of Arvus – Jews being connected to each other spirituality and therefore what is done by one can be seen to also be attributed to others. In this way it is possible for every Jew to do all 613 mitzvos!
