Brit milah, the ritual circumcision of Jewish baby boys on the eighth day
after birth, is one of the most sacred traditions of Jewish life. The Rabbinical
Assembly, in conjunction with the Jewish Theological Seminary,
periodically holds a course for physicians, entitled "Brit Kodesh, A Sacred
Covenant: A Conference on Brit Milah." Qualified physicians who are clinically
trained and highly experienced in medical circumcision, and who are
practicing Conservative Jews, can apply with the recommendation of their
rabbis and the approval of their local Rabbinical Assembly regions. The
course was last held in November 2003 and will not be held again in 2004
or 2005. If you are looking for a qualified mohel to conduct the brit milah
of your child, please contact your local Conservative rabbi. Click here

and rabbis. |
