Influence on Jews today
Abraham’s covenant
- Covenantal Promises: The covenant is seen as a unilateral promise from God, asserting that the Jewish people are His chosen people, which reinforces a sense of collective identity and purpose among Jews today. This is deeply ingrained in Jewish consciousness and community life
- Brit Milah (Circumcision): As a direct command from God to Abraham, the practice of circumcision serves as a physical reminder of the covenant. It is performed on Jewish boys on the eighth day after birth, symbolizing their entry into the covenant community . This ritual highlights the ongoing obligation that Jews feel towards maintaining their unique covenantal relationship with God.
- The Promised Land: The covenant also includes the promise of land, specifically the land of Israel, which remains central to Jewish identity and religious practice. The connection to Israel is seen not just as a geographical bond, but as a spiritual and historical one that underscores Jewish hopes for a return and restoration, even among those in the diaspora

Circumsions of newborn males at 8 days old during Brit Mlah
