Finalist: 2014 National Jewish Book Award, Modern Jewish Thought
and Experience This study seeks to examine the relationship between
the two major categories of commandments (mitzvot): ritual commands
(between man and his Maker) and social interpersonal commands
(between man and his neighbor). It is argued here that when there
is a clash between these two categories, and one cannot carry out
both, the interpersonal mitzvot almost always override those of a
ritual nature. Different scenarios from a broad spectrum of Jewish
law are cited to prove this contention, and the conclusion is
underscored through the examination of the behavior and rulings of
several leading Jewish legal authorities. Finally, the implications
of this conclusion and their impact on religious educational
direction and rationale are also discussed.
