Gemara: How do we know that the mila is done on the sexual organ? It says here "orlato" (his foreskin – Vayikra 12:3), and it says later (regarding fruit in the tree’s first three years – ibid. 19:23) "orlato." Just like there it is a thing that gives fruit, so too here it is an organ that gives fruit. Maybe it is his heart, as it says "I will cut off the orla of your heart" (Devarim 10:16)? Maybe it is his ear, as it says: "Alas, it is the orla of their ear" (Yirmiyahu 6:10)? We learn from where it says orla in a complete way, not an incomplete way (i.e., not "orla of X").

Ein Ayah: It is an important, deep principle that the foundation of the spiritual sanctity must be connected to the material world. This is in line with the whole idea of the soul coming down to the world to do its work within a material body specifically. Along similar lines, the special spiritual attributes of Israel had to be connected specifically to the material side of Eretz Yisrael.

[Karna wanted to point out] the holy value of the brit (covenant) which was engraved in our flesh. Hashem ensured that our special character would remain for generations by connecting it to our physical flesh. It cannot be accomplished by doing a mila on something spiritual like the heart, even though it is so wonderfully connected to a person’s morality. It also does not help to do a mila of the ear, representing preparing a person to hear and accept lofty matters. These things can be significant only after there is a mila in the very material flesh in a manner that impacts upon all generations. When the orla is removed from flesh by doing the eternal brit, then it is also possible to remove extraneous things from the heart and ear. The mila is in the place that "produces fruit." That flesh is elevated by the "partial mila." That is why we learn the place of the mila from the place of orla fruit.

    "WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?"- Iran & Purim

    Modern anti-Semitism, and especially this year's miraculous bombing of Iran's Supreme Leader & almost all of his military heads has many parallels in G-d's miraculous salvation in the Megilla, but especially in the Midrashim on Esther. Iran and President Trump can help us understand Haman & Achashverosh, as well as the difference between Christians and Moslems today!

    When Galut is Necessary & When Not?

    Rav Kook differentiates between sins of manners, sins of the individual and those of an entire country or society. In the latter case, gentile nations leave the stage of history, but Israel (which cannot be wiped out) is sent to exile. The class deals with the severity of a country officially licensing or condoning sin (e.g. same-sex marriages) which is much more severe than what individuals may do as private citizens. Finally, the class deals with the question of how Israel, as a democracy, should address the issue.

    Orchot Tzaddikim

    Orchot Tzaddikim class 81, "Torah" part ii

    The class deals with how G-d grants each generation to innovate and add to the eternal Torah. Even though today, we may not be as religious and spiritual as previous generations, G-d has granted us many "game-changers" to make Torah today that much more NEW, exciting and intellectually and emotionally appealing.

    Quality Over Quantity- Countless Ramifications

    As mankind matures (similar to the individual child), we all realize that it's generally a mistake to go after quantity, at the expense of quality. Children and primitve man thought that "bigger is better", but today's tiny computer chips and laser warfare teach man what Judaism always knew. Rav Kook explains this important idea with so many ramifications in life and Torah, via the letter Yud, which is the smallest letter, and rationally explains its Kabbalistic meanings and usage. The class is a great example of how Rav Kook harmonizes and combines rational philosophy and logical Kabbala.
