Okay, this time I will save before I send.<br /><br />It is intriguing that the way that the people are told to not eat of the fruit for 3 years is explained in light of circumcision, rather than just saying that the fruit would belong to the Holy One for that time, or something of that nature. So, there is a reason for everything. I suspect that it has to do with the covenant blessings belonging to those who are willing to trust and be obedient, which brings good fruit, rather than follow their desires and do what seems good.<br /><br />I don't believe the orlah is an impurity, but a sign that one's flesh has been left to itself and not dedicated to the way of holiness. <br /><br />We know that the word for male is, "zachar," which means, "to remember." Men have a hard time remembering, if we look to the garden and also to Avraham, as well as others. The Holy One added a, "heh," a divine breath to Avram and Sarai's names. But, since Avraham needed a little extra help, a heh was cut into his flesh. He couldn't get away from it; this is permanent.
