0385 - Besides for Mivtza Tefilin There are 612 Mitzvos

00:01 The whole shturum of Mitzvah film the Rebbe started before the Six-Day War. And since then, he spoke a lot, a lot about Mitzvah film. All the months after the war in Tov Shenchov Zayin, then the year of Tov Shenchov Ches, and it went in the year of Tov Shenchov Tes. He spoke a lot of Inyonim. And one of the Inyonim that he said in Tov Shenchov Ches was that there are people who have ta'inis. Why did you pick the Mitzvah of film? Why davke that Mitzvah? So the Rebbe answered, because Gemara says, Chuk Shakola Teyra Kulalit film. The whole Teyra is compared to film. So he picked the Mitzvah which contains Bames the whole Teyra. And other Inyonim the Rebbe said why he picked it. But then the Rebbe said that if you do have ta'inis why he picks the Mitzvah of film, other Rebbe, pick another Mitzvah. There are 612 more Mitzvahs. Altogether 630 Mitzvahs. I picked film. Pick one of the other Mitzvahs of Tov Reishud Beis Mitzvahs and do that. If you have ta'inis, do that. But you're not doing anything. But then before Yitzhak Tov Shenchov Tes, Rabbi Mentlik wrote to the Rebbe that how does the Rebbe say that there are 612 Mitzvahs besides film when film is made up of the Shaliad and the Shlorosh? And the Halacha is that there are two separate Mitzvahs. Bemele there are only left over 611 Mitzvahs. Why did the Rebbe say that there are left over 612 Mitzvahs? So by the Fabringen

01:17 Yitzhak Tov Shenchov Tes, the Rebbe said, I waited a year and a half to have this Kashe. Why did I say there are 612 Mitzvahs left when there are really only 611 Mitzvahs left? So the Rebbe said, but at least finally someone asked the question. Better late than never. So finally someone asked the question. And the Rebbe answered, Ba'ariches. One of the things he said was that there is a Shita from Poskim that Yad and Shlorosh are the one Mitzvah really. And therefore when you talk to people who complain and they don't really mean the Shaila that they have, it's only the complaint. And I want to give him a choice of other Mitzvahs. I picked the Shita that says that there are more Mitzvahs that they could keep. In other words, when you give him a choice, I want to give him a bigger choice. That even if you Poskim like the other Shitas, like the Bahag and the other Shitas that say that it's one Mitzvah, you have 612 Mitzvahs. Even though the Halacha is 611 because the Halacha is that they're two separate Mitzvahs. But then the Rebbe went on more about Pikabola and he brought Raiza Pikabola. It's really one Mitzvah. And then the Rebbe went into more details. But the Nekuda was that the Rebbe said that he waited for so long for this question and he explained Bediuk why he used that expression for all the reasons that the Rebbe gave by the Fabringen.
