Abstract
In Parshat Ki Teitzei, Moses positively overwhelms the Israelites with laws. Out of Maimonides’ count of 613 precepts, 72 appear in this week’s portion. Justifying the need for so many commandments in general, Sefer HaChinuch explains that sacred deeds function to inculcate character through repetitive action.
