Subject: My apologies for omission of source of Taryag

I recently cited the Rav (mj28-14) as stating that just as people have
Mazal so do talmudic statements. Only once in the talmud is the
statement made that there are 613 mitzvoth and yet we have a whole
literature on this.

The source is the end of the Tractate Makkoth. My thanks to Stan for
pointing out this omission
