What is the difference between enhancing a commandment and cherishing a commandment—which is preferable?
Question
Answer
I do not see a connection between these two. Enhancing a commandment refers to the manner in which the commandment is performed, whereas cherishing a commandment refers to one’s attitude toward the commandment (such as kissing the tzitzit. See Rema, Orach Chaim, sec. 24, par. 4).
