Friday Cheshvan 7 5704
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.
