This covenant, sealed through the commandment of &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;606&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;635&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Brit Milah (circumcision)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, is a physical and spiritual sign of this eternal connection (see &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;702&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;716&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Genesis 17&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;).&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;In Kabbalistic terms, the &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;746&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;754&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Brit&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; symbolizes the &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;770&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;815&amp;quot;&amp;gt;channel (Yessod) through which divine energy flows&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; into the world.

This covenant, sealed through the commandment of &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;606&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;635&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Brit Milah (circumcision)&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;, is a physical and spiritual sign of this eternal connection (see &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;702&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;716&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Genesis 17&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;).&amp;lt;br\/&amp;gt;In Kabbalistic terms, the &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;746&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;754&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Brit&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; symbolizes the &amp;lt;strong data-start=&amp;quot;770&amp;quot; data-end=&amp;quot;815&amp;quot;&amp;gt;channel (Yessod) through which divine energy flows&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; into the world.
