What does it mean? What is the &#8220;new covenant&#8221; that Jeremiah talks about in 31:30-21?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does It Mean to Circumcise the Heart?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u05de\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is there such a thing as circumcising the heart \u2014 cutting something away from the heart itself? The idea sounds startling at first. But the phrase <em>nitzavim<\/em> actually means &#8220;to stand firm&#8221; before G-d, and this week&#8217;s Torah portion introduces exactly this concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verse in question, Deuteronomy 30:6, reads: &#8220;G-d will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, to love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.&#8221; So what does it actually mean to circumcise the heart? Clearly, this is not a physical act but a spiritual one. The question is: what spiritual reality is being described here? To answer that, it&#8217;s worth turning to the commentary of the Ramban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Commentary of the Ramban (Nachmanides)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ramban \u2014 Nachmanides \u2014 lived in Spain during the 13th century, and he offers a striking interpretation of this verse. When G-d created man, He created him with two inclinations: a <em>\u05d9\u05e6\u05e8 \u05d4\u05d8\u05d5\u05d1<\/em>, an inclination toward good, and a <em>\u05d9\u05e6\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e8\u05e2<\/em>, an inclination toward evil. Man is given the freedom to choose his own path in life. G-d rewards a person when their choices align with His will, and G-d punishes a person when their choices depart from it. This has been the order of the world from the moment of creation up until the coming of the Mashiach (Messiah).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Free Will Versus Nature in the Days of Mashiach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Ramban, in the days of the Mashiach, G-d will \u2014 so to speak \u2014 cut away the evil inclination from our hearts, so that following G-d&#8217;s will becomes our very nature rather than a matter of struggle and choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, this is where the Ramban parts ways with the Rambam (Maimonides). In that future era, we will all be immersed in learning G-d&#8217;s wisdom and G-d&#8217;s Torah, and our only &#8220;choice&#8221; will be a matter of degree \u2014 how much more we choose to learn \u2014 rather than a choice between right and wrong. The moral struggle itself will have been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Understanding the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ramban then draws on a set of verses from Jeremiah 31:30\u201332 \u2014 verses that, he notes, have often been interpreted by other religions in ways he considers mistaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prophet writes: &#8220;Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah \u2014 not like the covenant I made with their forefathers.&#8221; What, then, will this new covenant actually be? According to the Ramban, it is precisely what our verse in this week&#8217;s Torah portion describes: &#8220;I will circumcise your heart. I will cut away from you the evil inclination.&#8221; That is the substance of the new covenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A New Heart and a New Spirit (Ezekiel 36)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same idea appears again in the prophet Ezekiel. In chapter 36, verse 26, G-d says: &#8220;I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you\u2026 and I will cause you to walk in My statutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does this &#8220;new heart&#8221; mean? It means that doing good will become the very nature of every human being. There will no longer be a free will suspended between good and evil, as there is now \u2014 because G-d will have circumcised our hearts to love Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our Part in Bringing the Redemption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do we arrive at this moment in history? We must do our part: turning back to G-d through teshuvah \u2014 repentance \u2014 and drawing closer to Him. And when we do our part, G-d says, He will do His: He will bring the Mashiach, and He will circumcise our hearts. From that point on, we will live in constant awareness of G-d, dwelling always in His presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May this happen speedily, in our days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good Shabbos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7\u05d4 \u05de\u05d0\u05ea \u05d4\u05e8\u05d1 \u05d8\u05d5\u05d1\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e1\u05e8\u05d1\u05e8<\/strong><br><br><br>\u05d4\u05d0\u05de\u05d5\u05e8 \u05dc\u05e2\u05d9\u05dc \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05d9\u05d9\u05e6\u05d5\u05d2 \u05e9\u05dc \u05d8\u05e7\u05e1\u05d8 \u05de\u05d3\u05d5\u05d1\u05e8 \u05e9\u05d4\u05d5\u05de\u05e8 \u05dc\u05d8\u05e7\u05e1\u05d8 \u05db\u05ea\u05d5\u05d1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a9 \u05db\u05dc \u05d4\u05d6\u05db\u05d5\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05de\u05d5\u05e8\u05d5\u05ea. \u05d0\u05dd \u05e0\u05d4\u05e0\u05d9\u05ea\u05dd \u05de\u05de\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05d6\u05d4, \u05d0\u05e0\u05d5 \u05de\u05de\u05dc\u05d9\u05e6\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05db\u05dd \u05dc\u05d4\u05e4\u05d9\u05e5 \u05d0\u05d5\u05ea\u05d5 \u05d4\u05dc\u05d0\u05d4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u05d4\u05d1\u05dc\u05d5\u05d2\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05dc\u05e0\u05d5 \u05e2\u05e9\u05d5\u05d9\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05d4\u05db\u05d9\u05dc \u05d8\u05e7\u05e1\u05d8\/\u05e6\u05d9\u05d8\u05d5\u05d8\u05d9\u05dd\/\u05d4\u05e4\u05e0\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea\/\u05e7\u05d9\u05e9\u05d5\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05d4\u05db\u05d5\u05dc\u05dc\u05d9\u05dd \u05d7\u05d5\u05de\u05e8 \u05d4\u05de\u05d5\u05d2\u05df \u05d1\u05d6\u05db\u05d5\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea \u05d9\u05d5\u05e6\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05e9\u05dc&nbsp;<br><a href=\"https:\/\/mechon-mamre.org\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u05de\u05db\u05d5\u05df-\u05de\u05de\u05e8\u05d4.org<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/aish.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aish.com<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/texts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8\u05d9\u05d4.org<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chabad.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u05d7\u05d1&quot;\u05d3.org<\/a>, \u05d5\/\u05d0\u05d5&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/asknoah.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AskNoah.org<\/a>, \u05d0\u05e9\u05e8 \u05d0\u05e0\u05d5 \u05de\u05e9\u05ea\u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05d4\u05df \u05d1\u05d4\u05ea\u05d0\u05dd \u05dc\u05de\u05d3\u05d9\u05e0\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05dc\u05d4\u05dd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u05d1\u05e1&#8221;\u05d3 Parashat Nitzavim In this week&#8217;s Torah reading appears an intriguing verse about the circumcision of the heart.
