10 Commandments a summary of Mitzvot?

[Splayd]

A few Jewish things I've read lately suggest that the 10 Commandments are a kind of summary of the 613 mitzvot and that all mitzvot can be categorized within the 10... but I've never seen it done. Is that right? Any thoughts about that.

I've seen Rambam's list seperated into about 34 Categories. I've seen them seperated as affirmative and negative. I've seen them listed as loving God and loving your neighbour and I've seen them listed according to the ones we can do today, the one's we can't and the one's we can only keep in Israel... BUT I've never seen them seperated according to the 10 Commandments. Has anyone seen that?

Well the "Big 10" can be sepearate into Love/Duty to God and Love/Duty to others. Which is basically what the Shema is all about.

I've never seen the 613 seperated according to the 10.

Hello

the 10 Commandments are a kind of summary of the 613

I just saw the same thing on the history channell which was doing a show on the 10 commandments. One of these "theologins" went as far as saying they were all grouped together and the 10 werent suppose to be any more significant than the rest. But because we have ten fingers...bla bla bla. How do these guys get called to do these shows. As i watch them and hear the things they say, i keep expecting Chuck Barris to gong them, be pulled off the stage and another contestant brought in.

This gives a short explanation of how the 613 mitzvot can be divided according to the 10 commandments:

I was wondering the same thing....

I guess they missed the part where the 10 were written in stone by HaShem's hand and put INside the Ark while the rest were written down by Moshe and put outside. ;)

And was referring to:

She'mot 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of G-d.

D'varim 9:10
And the L-RD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of G-d; and on them was written according to all the words, which the L-RD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

D'varim 10:1
At that time the L-RD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.

D'varim 10:5
And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the L-RD commanded me.


And



D'varim 31:26

Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the L-RD your G-d, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

more like getting people who think they know what they are talking about to try and debunk.:doh:

Well Atlantians
TV is a powerful tool to hoodwink the unlearned. I was there in one point in time. When i 1st started my search i actually believed some of the things JV impe was saying. Even bought a tape. im still waitin for the Binary Electronic Accounting Systems Technology (of belguim)to turn into the BEAST that the book of Revelations speaks off. I have come to find that the most knowledgeable people who wish to walk in the WORD are on these and other discussion boards. I have also found in the scriptures that we will be rewarded by our search. Seek and ye shall find. Right or wrong if you seek HIM out dilegently you will be rewarded. There are many houses. I truly beleive that most of us who truly seek the WRITTEN WORD will see each other again, whether we be right in our beliefs or whether we be wrong.
