"The Mitzvah (Commandment) of "Bris Mila" is the fathers' responsibility. The father is commanded to actually circumcise his own son just like Abraham circumcised his own sons. Since most fathers missed the day in Hebrew school where they taught how to circumcise, he is required to hire a Mohel to act as his proxy to perform the Bris."

My Dad saw a lot of combat---and a lot of blood---some of it his own.

I showed him you post and he said If HE had to do it (obviously he couldn't have) He would have passed out.


Strange,eh?

All of those kids appear to be younger then eight years old.

Seriously though, was this man using that as a defense? And is he Jewish?

If he used that as a defense he might have a small chance of success. But then the question would come up was if he has always been Jewish then why did he wait eight years and why did he do it himself?
