Description

Milah is the first and only Mitsvah which Hashem gives Avraham. Why Milah? The Rebbe explains why Milah is a paradigmatic Mitzva. He them explores a three fold distinction between the act of Milah, the state of having received a Milah and not being in a state of "Arel". The Rebbe demonstrates how this distinction has both Halachic and spiritual ramifications.
