In my article, Lech Lecha: Is Circumcision Mutilation? I wrote about one facet of the Rambam's understanding of milah. This article is about his explanation for why milah is done at the young age of eight days.If you enjoy these 1-page articles (and my other written content), be sure to subscribe (for free!) to my substack at rabbischneeweiss.substack.com.-----The Torah content from now through the end of the month of Nisan has been sponsored by Michal Zoldan, who reached out to me over Pesach to let me know that she listens to my podcasts.
