The Rishon Letzion Magistrate's Court on Tuesday ordered the former rabbi of the Gan Yavneh local council to pay a child and his parents NIS 1.18 million in damages after the child was left severely disfigured when he was circumcised by the rabbi.
The rabbi, Mehumar Tzubari, performed the religious ceremony on the child in April 1995. A few hours after the ceremony, the mother realized that the tip of the child's penis was blacked and called the rabbi. He checked the area, applied iodine ointment and told the mother not to worry and that "everything will be fine."
After several days in the hospital, doctors diagnosed gangrene in the penis tip. The penis tip was lost, the penis became trapped within the skin enveloping it. Two years later, the infant underwent surgery at Schneider Children's Hospital to release the penis, replace the missing skin and give the penis a healthier appearance. The operation failed.
In August 2000, the infant was operated on in the United States by Dr. Gerald Jordan, a world renowned expert on reconstructive surgery. According to the child's parents, the operation failed to restore the penis to normal since the reconstructed tip does not enable an erection to be maintained during intercourse.
The parents filed suit against the rabbi, the Gan Yavneh religious council, the Gan Yavneh local council and the Religious Affairs Ministry. The deputy president of the Rishon Letzion Magistrate's Court, Judge Dalia Gannot, rejected the suits against the public bodies, but found in favor of the suit against the rabbi.
During the trial, it emerged that Tzubari was not qualified to work as a mohel (the religious official who carries out a circumcision).
The judge ordered Tzubari to pay NIS 850,000 of the NIS 1.18 million in damages for the family's past and future suffering, and to compensate the parents for the cost of psychiatric treatment for their son
This thread has a great deal of potential to just take a dive right into the gutter, head first.
This is wrong on so many levels. Sheesh!
If he cut the tip off then I feel sorry for the kid. It's supposed to be the skin around the tip that's cut.
1.18 million isn't enough. I hope by the time this boy is old enough to marry, a medical procedure will have been developed to help him.
It isn't the boy's parents who will have a long term problem with feeling. My goodness...how terrible.
Oh, you started it!
But I'm bigger than that. Nonetheless, the story made me cross my legs.
You're not going to believe me, but I didn't even realize that until I hit "Post" and it was on its merry way!

And this is a bad thing? Not everyone wants a house full of screamin monkeys
I was thinking the same thing... Nine years old, secual intercourse...
I guess it hasn't hurt his sex life, after all.
OK, I'll go first...
Time to call in DR. DICK TRANSPLANT!!
............FRegards
OYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! I don`t know why they do this anyway. They say it`s for "cleanliness" which to me is BS. If someone gets an infection down ther because they have that extra skin, then either they haven`t bathed in 10 years or they had sex with Madonna or Paris Hilton. It`s completely ridiculous why that of all things has to come off, especially when you`re a baby.
I mean what a welcome into this world isn`t it? "Welcome to your new life! And as a special welcoming gift we are going to mutilate your dick! YEAH!" I`m a Christian and my parents got me circumcised, but I never asked them if a Rabbi did it or a doctor. Either way, if I had a choice I wouldn`t have wanted it done in a million years, no way. All sharp cutting things I do not want 10,000 miles near my Johnson, never mind near the tip. I`m 42 and to this day I can still see the scar. Sometimes I wonder if that`s the reason so many men need Viagra today. (Not me of course..huh huh) THey got that subconcious mutilation in their brain.
It's just a lot dirtier if I prefer not to believe you. Yes, I suppose I'm just that twisted.
and my legs are still crossed
This butchering of males *must* be ended as common practice in American hospitals. Too many mothers fall prey to urban legends that a penis with foreskin intact somehow can't be kept clean and devoid of infection.
This is not the first time this has happened, under *identical* circumsatances - and the outcome has been even *worse* on prior occasions (yes, it's possible).
actually saw a young baby have a terrible consequence after a neighboring hospital LEFT THE CLAMP ON TOO LONG and the baby's penis turned black....the baby was very sick for a long time and I really never learned exactly what became of him....
*IF* indeed. How disturbing is it that you can be butchered in this way in a post-Roe world while no parent or child's father can prevent (or force) an abortion of their child or grandchild--the killing of a human being--because of individual privacy rights?
And we males don't even have production to keep our genitals intact right after birth!
This disparity continues thanks to the feminazi agenda.
