The purpose of the commandments
Hello Rabbi Michi,
I am an observant Jew and consider myself obligated to fulfill God’s commandments as expressed in Halacha.
I ask myself for whom or what I am keeping the commandments. Is the purpose to build something in me (I am not clear what, but perhaps the very act of obeying God is valuable and makes me a “God-fearer” who has value in and of itself), that is: is it for me or is the purpose of keeping the commandments merely for some other purpose?
