Objective – Appreciate math in the Parsha; and understand “longitude”
HaShem places the cure before the problem. In Parsha Tazria, the concept of circumcision precedes the
“punishment” of Metzora. Punishment from G-d is for our long-term good, allowing us to do
Teshuvah, a 180-decree turn in our direction in life.
Applying the rule of "zrizim makdimim l'mitzvos" (serving HaShem with alacrity) to circumcision can
be understood as preparation for the mitzvoh right from the day of birth. Prior to circumcision we
have 7 days and a night. If we calculate the first day from its first moment, (counted as if the entire
first day even if the baby was born at the last moment of the day) we have 180 hours. The first
person to be circumcised on the eighth day was Yitzchok. Avrohom's preparation for 180 hours
corresponds to the 180 years of Yitzchok's life. (Chid"o in Nachal K'dumim)
