Welcome to the Nishma Insight Discussion Forum blog.


The NISHMA INSIGHT is our popular dvar Torah, distributed almost every week by e-mail, that touches upon an important concept in the Parsha, theme in a holiday or event in contemporary society.

Often, readers respond, via e-mail, with comments that initiate a further dialogue. Through this Discussion Forum, we now wish to open this dialogue to others. If you have a comment on the INSIGHT, we invite you place to your comments here; then we invite everyone to join the discussion.

(If you are not receiving the NISHMA INSIGHT, we invite you join our mailing/e-mail list through completing our sign-up form available at our website.)

Insight 5774-06: The Nature of Mitzvot

For Lech Lecha
Not yet available on the Nishma website.

Study Question

1) Can you think of other possible answers to the question of why Avraham postponed fulfilling the mitzvah of milah? Do you agree, though, with Rabbi Hochman's assertion that the answer of the Mizrachi is the most straightforward one?
