Tazria - Milah, circumcision and words

Why does the Torah want us to constantly be speaking words of Torah? What does it mean that circumcision pushes away spiritual leprosy?

Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.

Thanks again for the excellent teaching. Circumcision of the tongue and heart separate us for God. If I'm not mistaken, somewhere in Holy Scripture, it is written that God himself will circumcise our hearts. I think without His help, it is impossible to do. Thanks again!!
