Reply To: Understanding the reasons for mitzvos

DaasYochid, thank you for embedding the Maharal here, although:
1) He doesn’t mention Yitzchak, only Avraham and Yaakov
2) Even by Avraham and Yaakov, he never actually says they kept the Torah as we do. Rather, the were “fit to accept the Torah” through their attributes of chesed and emes, which implies something more similar to the Rambam I quoted.
3) On that note, the Rambam’s opinion is still one that clearly expresses they did not keep the Torah as we do.

WinnieThePooh, I like the final point you made in your last post.

Avram in MD, you made some good points.
