Question

Hello Rabbi!
A question that has been bothering me lately:
Since the Torah was given in a certain context and in a certain historical period, many commandments that in the past fit well into everyday life and served as Judaism’s instruction for the proper way to live seem today to be detached from their original context and to have become a kind of ritual.
An example I noticed recently is the commandment of tzitzit. In the past, the tekhelet dye produced from the snail was a prestigious dye and was used in royal garments and the like. In that context, the commandment of tzitzit probably had a clear and reasonable meaning and was a natural part of the life of the Jew who observed it.
Today, of course, tekhelet produced from the snail is not used for dyeing, since there are more efficient and cheaper ways to dye things blue, and blue is no longer considered royal or special. There is also the matter of the small tallit that people wear today in order to have a four-cornered garment obligated in tzitzit, whereas in the past ordinary clothes probably had four corners.
In any case, my feeling is that the commandment is no longer in its natural place in life, but has become a kind of ritual, and I do not know whether this is really God’s will for us. It does not seem that this was the original intention…
This is just one example. It seems to me that the whole world of Jewish law is full of such commandments (for example, the Sabbath labors, which are suited to an agricultural society…)
I actually do connect to rituals, and I can sometimes also find meaning in the commandment of tzitzit when I observe it. But even so, it seems to me that the original purpose of these commandments was as part of life and not in such an artificial form.
I would be happy to hear your opinion on the subject. Thank you very much!
