Usage: The term "mulah" refers to the act or state of circumcision, a physical sign of the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants. It is a significant religious and cultural practice in Judaism, symbolizing the Jewish people's commitment to God and His commandments.

Cultural and Historical Background: Circumcision is a rite that dates back to Abraham, as recorded in Genesis 17:10-14, where God commands Abraham to circumcise every male in his household as a sign of the everlasting covenant. This practice was a distinguishing mark of the Israelites, setting them apart from other nations. In Jewish tradition, circumcision is performed on the eighth day after a male child's birth, known as the "brit milah" ceremony.
