Why are practical mitzvot so central to Judaism? Why is it not enough just to believe in the Torah's central tenets and teachings?
When famine struck, Isaac considered leaving the Land of Israel. But God commanded him to remain in Israel. God allayed Isaac's fears, promising him:
"I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of the sky, and grant them all these lands.... Because Abraham obeyed My voice; and he kept My charge, My commandments, My decrees, and My laws." (Gen. 26:4-5)
Abraham kept God's commandments?
