Is this more the authentic method? 44:30 What language would a Gemara today be in if it weren’t written at the time?—Would it be in multiple languages? 46:45 Considering bris milah, if the body is perfect, why would one need to change a body? Why did HaShem indicate the bris to be on the male organ? 52:35 Would bris milah apply to non-Jews or Adam haRishon? 55:10 Is the order of Alef Beis random?
