In a book called Sefer Hasidim ("The Book of the Devout"), the 613 limbs and organs of the human body are associated with the 613 commandments of the Torah, each commandment corresponding to a specific part of the body.
Since each mitzvah gives off its own small light, man, then, is an array of lights.
Our lives consist of lighting one light here, one light there.
All these lights together make up the ideal image of the person, as though man were merely a brace, or a stand, for the 613 lights.
–Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
