Description

At the end of Parshat Lech Lecha, Hashem promises to give Eretz Yisrael to Avraham's children on condition that they perform and remain committed to brit milah. However, Yishmael receives brit milah as well. What is the difference in the connection between Benei Yisrael and Benei Yishmael to brit milah and therefore to the Land of Israel? Also, why is inheriting Eretz Yisrael linked to the mitzvah of brit milah in the first place? We explore what true commitment to brit milah means and why it is so central to inheriting the Land of Israel.
