Mar 8, 2019 at 5:34 comment added DonielF @alicht IDK. It’s not even that the connection’s broken; if you go to the Kesef Mishnah page itself, the text is missing there, too.
Mar 8, 2019 at 5:14 comment added alicht @DonielF agav, I wanted to link to the Kesef Mishnah quoted in answer #1 but its not there... yet is there for 1:2, but not 1:3... etc. What's pshat? Not even referring to Hebrew and English- strange that even just the Hebrew text is available for some of Kesef Mishnah but not others

Jul 4, 2018 at 20:23 comment added DonielF @AlBerko That’s because the mitzvah to mention Yetzias Mitzraim at night is only DeRabbanan - it’s fulfilled with the third Perek of Shema, which itself is DeRabbanan. The Mitzvah DeOraisa is fulfilled by just mentioning it once a day.
Jul 4, 2018 at 20:05 comment added Al Berko Please note, that the use of the word Mitzvah is extremely vague throughout all of our sources - Mishnah, Talmud, Geonim, Rishonim etc. It rarely means exactly "one of the 613 Mitzvot" but simply "a good deed". Compare Rambam הלכות קרי"ש - the Mitzvah is to read קרי"ש but he says "פעמים ביום קורים קרית שמע", but a couple of sentences after he says "שמצוה להזכיר יציא"מ בלילה" - and does not count it as a stand-alone Mitzvvah.

Jul 3, 2018 at 22:18 comment added Alex I also don't think we're disagreeing. I'm just clarifying.
Jul 3, 2018 at 22:16 comment added DonielF @Alex I don’t think what you’re saying and what msh is saying are contradictory. The Chinuch in several places says that he’s going with the Rambam’s list but still says that he disagrees with the Rambam and doesn’t feel that it should be counted as a mitzvah, or at least a separate mitzvah.
Jul 3, 2018 at 21:49 comment added Alex @msh210 True, but he is not quite a blind follower. For instance, in this very mitzvah he questions Rambam's ruling that the blessing must be said before the act of Kiddushin, on the grounds that we don't know that the woman will consent and it will be a beracha levatala.
Jul 3, 2018 at 21:46 comment added msh210 @Alex, he usually follows Rambam's mitzva enumeration.
Jul 3, 2018 at 21:32 comment added Alex Note that Rambam is not the only one who counts Kiddushin as a mitzvah. see, e.g., Sefer Hachinuch #552.
