Logical Mitzvos Are Also From Sinai

Living Moshiach | February 07, 2026

This week’s Torah portion is about interpersonal laws, which make sense (as opposed to the laws that we don’t understand). These Mitzvos are also “from Sinai”. The reason they make sense is because G-d decided that in these commands, His Will becomes enclothed in His attribute of Wisdom. Even the gentiles should observe their Seven Noachide Commandments because G-d commanded them in the Torah, not because they make sense.
