To quote you, "The only answer I know, and I know it's inconsistent with the Noda Beyehuda in EH II 96, is that since you could have learned and known better than the Sanhedrin, you're not called an annus. You're a shogeig." The piece in Beis Zvul has a different answer to that question. But now you surprise me by quoting the very Nb"Y that you went against there. Not that you need to be consistant -- that's only the hobgoblin of little minds, as the quote goes.<br />(Chaim using the PC logged in as Ariella)Ariella's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409352047101582583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-11909589818192900282015-12-30T10:08:26.784-05:002015-12-30T10:08:26.784-05:00Regarding your question why there are no mitzvos z...Regarding your question why there are no mitzvos zecher limaamad har sinai, and why there are so many mitzvos zecher leyetzias mitzraim.<br /><br />I saw in a sefer that the Rambam would include remembering maamad har sinai as part of the mitzvah of anochi hashem elokecha, which is why he disagrees with the Ramban and does not count it as its own mitzvah. This is a nice answer, making maamad har sinai an integral component of the Rambam's first (and most important??) mitzvah.<br /><br />Regarding why there are so many mitzvos zecher leyetzias mitzraim, I once wrote something about that: http://doleh-u-mashkeh.blogspot.com/2013/12/bechira-chofshis-2.html.E.

It was ingrained into the Jewish DNA and therefore inherently unforgettable.
