Mitzvot are commandments or good deeds in Judaism that guide the behavior and ethics of Jewish people. There are 613 mitzvot outlined in the Torah, which cover various aspects of life, including religious practices, moral conduct, and social justice. Observing mitzvot is considered a way to fulfill one's spiritual obligations and strengthen the relationship with God. They can be divided into two categories: positive mitzvot, which require action, and negative mitzvot, which prohibit certain behaviors. Following these commandments is an essential part of Jewish life and identity.
