The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Aaron L Raskin’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] the Torah tells us there's a Mitzvah to circumcise every male as it says in Genesis 17:10 that every male among you must be circumcised the Torah goes on to say that this is done at 8 days old and this is true for every male throughout all your generations and the goes on to explain the positive commandment 215 that you must circumcise every male and if one does not circumcise their child then this child violates a Mitzvah in the Torah which is a Mitzvah that is punishable through ctis which means that he's cut off from the Jewish people as it says the uncircumcised male whose foreskin shall not be circumcised shall be punished by cus this is the Pat the simple explanation of the Mitzvah and as we find the tells us that King David was once walking in a bath house and he became very sad because he realized that he was naked from mitzvas you have to realize in those days they were not only aaka and sit and andalis but they also were filling all day and realized that now that he's in the bath house he took off his yam he took off his TI he took off his he has no mitv on him thear goes on to say when he reminded himself that he was circumcised then he became calm and the question comes to mind what do he mean when he remembered he was circumcised how could anyone forget that they're circumcised and the answer is that originally thought that the Mitzvah of circumcision was a one-time act eight
