Mitzvah
A "Mitzvah" is a Hebrew term that means "commandment" and refers to a good deed or act of kindness in Jewish tradition. There are 613 mitzvot outlined in the Torah, which guide the moral and ethical behavior of Jewish people. These commandments cover various aspects of life, including religious practices, social justice, and personal conduct.
In addition to the formal commandments, the term "mitzvah" is often used to describe any act of kindness or charity, such as helping others or volunteering. Performing a mitzvah is considered a way to fulfill one's spiritual obligations and contribute positively to the community.
