Torah lessons: | Chumash: Lech L'cha, Shishi with Rashi. | |
Tehillim: 39-43. | ||
Tanya: But, in truth, (p. 555) ...are entirely one. (p. 557). |
Since Torah was given, the correct sequence1 is: First, removal of the orla2 of the body, then of the tongue, then of the heart - deed, speech, then thought.
Our father Avraham, who lived prior to the giving of the Torah, however, first recognized his Creator - thought; then he disseminated G‑dliness - speech; and finally circumcision3 - deed.
