He was recognized as both an outstanding scholar and an extraordinarily righteous man. He spent his days learning the Torah and disseminating his knowledge to the people. Early in the 1800's, while increasing the knowledge of Torah through his yeshiva, Rabbi Meir extracted a list of 271 Commands out of the 613 Principles of the Torah, that can still be observed today, despite the fact that the Temple in Jerusalem is no longer exists, and most of the people from the 12 Tribes of Israel remain scattered amongst the nations. These 271 Principles (commands) have been categorized for easy reference and application. These are the 271 Principles that represent the Torah teachings and instructions that we can still obey as a "Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation . . ." ( Exodus 19:6; Revelation 5:10 ). These 271 commands and teachings are the daily instructions for every citizen of the Commonwealth of Israel, whether native or grafted in. They are for all those who worship the One, True, Living Elohim/ YHVH, the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and for the descendents of the 12 tribes, the Children of Israel, living amongst the nations. These commands, teachings and instructions show us how we are to worship of YHVH Elohim, & to honor His Torah, and observe the Shabbat Day, His Feasts, and Festivals. There are Commands for dietary laws, purity, and sanctification. The list includes instructions for the community, the family, relating to neighbors, and for the redeemed of the ADONAI YHVH, who desire to live out a redeemed lifestyle, for walking out the TORAH, and who, by and through the obedience to YHVH's commands, are shining the Light of Messiah to the ends of the earth.
