Description

Why is ק"ש such a foundational mitzvah? Which of the עיקרי אמונה are the subject of קבלת עול מלכות שמים? Why do חז"ל use the symbol of an עול (yoke) to depict our belief in Hashem and acceptance to perform מצות? How can we understand the connection between מצות ק"ש and מצות תלמוד תורה?
