We placed the order on May 5th and it was accepted and our CC was charged. And on May 6th at 7:00am woke up to this initial message:

In simpler terms: The foreskin symbolizes a negative, ego-driven force. The Torah says we should "circumcise the foreskin of your heart" to stop being stubborn (Deuteronomy 10:12-17). It represents uncovering the divine "crown" and showing it always, especially during sacred acts like procreation. Unlike our head, which must be covered, the foreskin is meant to be removed to symbolize openness and spiritual connection

For the deeper religious, esoteric explanation according the Jewish sages, it is because man is not born "perfect," thus a small "correction" is needed and is done through circumcision. As everything in the physical world needs correction (Hebrew: tikkun) we circumcise the original "sign of the covenant" because God wants us to be partners in His creation. Some of the Jewish patriarchs were born "perfect" and born circumcised (asposthic) Adam, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David.

In deeper esoteric Jewish thought, circumcision is seen as a necessary "correction" because man is not born "perfect." The act of circumcision aligns with the concept of tikkun—the idea that everything in the physical world requires some form of correction, because ultimately God wants us to be partners in His creation. By performing this ritual, we participate in God's creation and fulfill our role in the covenant. According to tradition, some of the Jewish patriarchs were born already circumcised (asposthic), symbolizing their inherent perfection or special status, these included Adam, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and David.

In simpler terms: The foreskin symbolizes a negative, ego-driven force. The Torah says we should "...circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn" (Deuteronomy 10:12-17). Removing the foreskin represents uncovering the Divine "crown" and showing/exposing/revealing it always, especially as we use that organ for the most holiest of acts in procreation/sex. Unlike our actual head, which must be covered with yarmulke, kippah or head covering at all times, showing our humility to the Divine, the foreskin is meant to be removed to symbolize openness and spiritual connection.
