Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת לך לך. Discussed: • Understanding the argument between Yitzchok and Yishmael regarding the ideal way to perform Mitzvas Bris Milah.

The Gemara cites the Pasuk טוב אחרית דבר מראשיתו, ascribing the father's wrong Kavanah during the Bris, which affected אחר later in life.
