so it's "love and sincerity" that count, that give G-d the "utmost pleasure" - not doing the mitzvah strictly according to halacha
|
Yes, when a person, through no fault of his or her own, is ignorant of the correct halachos, G-d counts their pure and sincere intentions as equal to or better than one doing the mitzvah with all of its details.
In other words, G-d has "true pleasure" from a) Jews doing what He told them to, and b) Jews doing their best to do what they think G-d wants them to do.
