Description

This is the audio version of the 2-page article I wrote and published on https://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/lech-lecha-shadal-on-jewish-vs-egyptian on 10/31/25 titled: Lech Lecha: Shadal on Jewish vs. Egyptian Circumcision. Contrary to what some might assume, circumcision did not originate with Jews. It was practiced in Egypt thousands of years earlier. What do we make of this? Shadal offers a profound answer.
