Mitzvot and Polemics with Rabbi Dr. Martin Lockshin

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Mitzvot"  We will examine the claim of many Jewish philosophers and Bible commentators who argue that mitzvot primarily serve the purpose of differentiating Jews from views and practices of the outside world.  Is being different a value in and of itself?
