THE OU'S Taryag: The 613 Mitzvos mitzva 29. Not Only Those in Glass Houses: The prohibition against serving idols in their own ways


The first half of this verse, “You shall not bow down to them,” prohibits serving idols in a way we serve God, such as prostration. This phrase, “or serve them,” includes forms of service that are unique to the idol. We may not do certain things for God, but if it’s how the idol is served, it’s equally prohibited.
Yaakov at 11:34 PM
