A typical commandment might read "Do commandment so and so because I God took you out of Egypt." The natural question is "What is the common feature of these dozen commandments which caused Egypt to be mentioned?" We will explain 4 methods by which Rashi connects specific commandments with Egypt. In this issue we present Method 4. METHOD 4: Observe all Commandments -------------------------------------------------------------- A commandment that encompasses doing ALL commandments or that is doctrinal is connected with remembering Egypt since we were freed from Egypt on condition that we do all commandments. For example "Believe in God since he took you out of Egypt" -------------------------------------------------------------- #*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# (C) Dr Hendel, 2000 *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# EXAMPLES -------- METHOD 4: Observe all Commandments -------------------------------------------------------------- A commandment that encompasses doing ALL commandments or that is doctrinal is connected with remembering Egypt since we were freed from Egypt on condition that we do all commandments.
