the root of all evil

Rebbe Nachman teaches that Tikkun HaBrit is the shoresh (root) of all of the negative mitzwoth. There are so many fine points, in the negative mitzwoth, he says, that one could never master them all. Instead, through rectifying the Brit Milah, we fix all of our shortcomings in all of the 365 negative mitzwoth at their root.

(Likkutei Moharan I:28)
