What Are "Segulot"? Mitzvah Remedies Do We Believe In Those?

It’s no secret that being a Jew is full of do’s and don’ts. What is less known, though, is why that is.

In this week’s Parsha the Jews are crowned by Hashem as His ‘am segulah’ His treasure, and we are then given the Torah which of course enjoins us with all the dos and don’ts.

Why does Hashem need us to fulfill so many mitzvos, and with so many details and particular laws. Couldn’t He have sufficed with a few general over-arching rules and call it a day?

Each mitzvah opens a conduit of blessing into our life, and in some cases it’s very clear which mitzvah is a segulah for what exact need we might have.
