Circumcision is performed on the organ that facilitates physical bonding. Additionally, the Torah speaks elsewhere of a symbolic foreskin around the heart, the organ that facilitates emotional bonding.
Bonding is our ability to share, to give and to receive. To see the world through another’s perspective and to let it rub off on our own. A foreskin conceals and encloses the organs that bond. To be sure, you can still bond, but everything is filtered through the foreskin. Symbolically, this means that when you hear another’s point of view, you filter it through your own.
(This does not suggest that uncircumcised men cannot relate to others; this discussion is completely allegorical. Also note that the Talmud states that women are considered to be “born circumcised.”)
Ich wage den frevelhaften Gedanken ja kaum auszusprechen, aber wenn man jetzt,
ich meine wenn man jetzt - die Vorhaut einfach von der Eichel herunterzieht - wäre das Problem mit der bindungsschädlichen Filterei dann nicht gelöst?
Wieso muss man die gleich abschneiden?

There is no skin like foreskin
