Personalities:

Lubavitcher Rebbe 

Collections: R' Pearl Likkutei Torah

Description

The Rebbe explains why it was important for Avraham to perform Milah physically instead of merely living Milah's spiritual ideal. He also explores why Avraham had to wait for Hashem to command him to fulfill Milah, while Avraham already kept all of the other Mitsvos. More broadly, the Rebbe explores the importance of physically performing Mitsvos and not sufficing with the ideas behind them. Likkutei Sichos Chelek Gimmel Lech Lecha Sicha 1 Summary
