The Mystical Dimension of the Mitzvah of Circumcision - Rabbi Yitzchak Botton

I'd like to talk about Ruth Mila today one of the special mitzvahs that we have that certainly make us unique question I want to ask is why did our ham wait a hundred years in order to perform the villa on himself yeah you'll answer me back why did he wait a sham didn't command him until he was a hundred but the question is really coming off of what the rabbi's explain the rabbi's tell us that before Avraham was told by Hashem to do anything he already was able to understand and perceive the entire Torah and fulfill it so remember Avraham in his spiritual quest let's look ago in his journey to find the truth to find the XM the essence of his neshama he was able to already understand what his neshama needed in the world which is to do the Torah 613 mitzvot correspond to 613 limbs and sinews so he already did all of the mix vote before he was told by Hashem to do so the big question now is if he's doing all of them it's worth keeping Shabbat even rabbinic myths work they go so far Society for so why did he do Brit Milah let me make the question even stronger Kabbalah explains to us what really problem is without having nobody that the worst most intense type of spiritual impurity that can bring a person down and connect them to the negative forces that exist out there spiritually is the Orla having the aura on his body is considered one of the worst things that you can spiritually do that will detect detach him or distance him food that I give purity and sanctity so now let's ask the question again with this in mind why would I remove something on his body that would hold him back from you know coming closer to Hashem something that would attach him to such negative forces and make him more impure so a fabulous answer brought to this question in the Husky dude the contestant called mentions is like this we have to understand that with all our great ideas and everything that we can accomplish on our own if we're the source of that idea if we're the source of that action and it's ultimately limited to what we're at capable able to accomplish but if God becomes the source of our our action somehow then the action can become unlimited so even if we understand that that ultimately God through the Torah is going to want us to do many things when he gives the Torah at har Sinai and I can know that now I do it now but if I'm doing it because I decided then it's not really a command from Hashem but it's something that I'm doing Avram understood that as much as he could understand the ultimate purpose of mankind and especially of army style to fulfill the 613 mitzvot that the Torah right now he was just doing them as his own personal decision to do them as great as it was and as lofty as it brought his neshama it wasn't the same as doing the commandment now with all of the other mitzvot I could do it today I could do it tomorrow and then when God will give me them it's like I can do it then as a mitzvah from Hashem but with Brit Milah it's I have only one shot at it if I do it now before I sham tells me to do it then I will be ever limited to me deciding to do it but if I wait til Hashem says to do it then it's unlimited because it's passions act that I'm fulfilling the one it has shams brought something I'm doing so our I'm understood as bad as it was to keep this or Allah on him if I take it off too soon then I will miss out on how great the mitzvah of Milla could be so he waited a hundred years with this negative element on his body until Hashem said to take it off by doing it then he did it in the ultimate way he could do it furthermore we can add to this when we speak about the spiritual dimension of them it's vote so let's be honest do we have the power within ourselves to conquer the evil in this world to conquer the spiritual evil that exists in the upper world the Khoa that comes from a Shem the power that we have to to fix this world and to elevate ourselves is coming from a sham so it's actually even even more important without Hashem telling us to do them it's world our mid-sole wouldn't have the same power wouldn't have the same potency so if everyone would have done it sooner he would have accomplished necessary as he needed to accomplish and that's the beauty of a masseur receiving the Torah and that's why when we do the midst of bismillah today it's explained by the the rabbi's that we're actually doing it because I sham commanded us in the Torah not because Avraham did it he did do it and it's based on him doing it but the core of the mitzvot and what we accomplished spiritually when we do the mitzvot came to UM Israel at har Sinai when a sham gave us the Torah and gave us the cause to affect the spiritual realms in the most powerful and impactful way there's a verse that compares this comparison of doing them it's well before Martin Torah and doing them installed after Mountain Torah and it compares the doing over the midst or before the giving of the Torah like the fragrance that you get from nice scented oils it's a beautiful smell but there's nothing to it it's just a fragrance but when you have the actual oil so you have the real physical thing to possess and that's the difference doing me talk after Mountain Tora the mid so itself has the power to affect the physical world in a tangible way before what were given the mid-foot so even if we did these good things it didn't affect the world in such a physical way it didn't sanctify our physical body and I didn't sanctify the physical world when Yaakov did in the Torah mentioned that he went in the used sticks to help that the animals that were procreating should come out spotted and speckled so the Kabbalah the Mystics explained that really what he was doing was similar to to fill in the same spiritual thing that we accomplished through the feeling is what he was accomplishing but when he was finished with what he did the sticks that he used he put on back on the floor they weren't special they wouldn't become holy but when we write a pair of two feeling today that feeling themselves become holy this is the difference between before and after Mountain tour and this is the difference between Avraham during the midst of before Hashem said to do it versus f2r mSATA to may we all married to fulfill the Mitzvah in the most meaningful way we can obviously investing of ourselves but realized that the ultimate power in the Mitzvah to change ourselves and the world and through the material merit to see Messiah and the better McNab in here be a man who comes from Hashem [Music]
