https://thetaryag.comhttps://github.com/repwolfe/613Jewish tradition teaches us (for example, see Makkos 23b) that there are 613 commandments in the Torah (the Five Books of Moses), known as the Taryag Mitzvos. A cursory glance at the Torah will yield many more than 613 commandments. Therefore, there must be some sort of criteria to determine what makes the list of Taryag Mitzvos. However, the Jewish Sages never specified which commandments written in the Torah made the list. The Rishonim (the Medieval Rabbinic scholars) argued about the listing of the commandments, and it seems that all these opinions were never collected in an organized way. The purpose of this project is to present most of the opinions in a visually pleasing manner. The mitzvos can be viewed, explored, and sorted, according to how each opinion lists them.In addition to being able to view each opinion's listing, there's the ability to compare two lists at once, seeing where they agree, and where they differ.Finally, because of the differing opinions as to what makes the list, there ends up being more than 613 unique mitzvos. The entire accumulated list can be viewed, and each mitzvah (command) displays who counts it in their list. A link is provided to quickly navigate to that individual's list, to see how they formulate it.The goal is to have the entire project eventually be bilingual. Everything is in Hebrew by default, but the language can be changed to English. Data that hasn't yet been translated will remain displayed in Hebrew.Most of the textual data for this project came from Sefaria (for more details, see below). We are extremely grateful for their dedication to Jewish texts, making them freely available online for all.The website has a RESTful API, connected to an SQL database, and populates the DOM using Backbone.js.
