PETAH TIKVA - Two children were rushed to Schneider Hospital Tuesday following complications from their brit milah (circumcision) ceremonies.

The first case took place Tuesday, when a mohel (ritual circumciser) apparently cut the child’s penis too deeply, causing blood to gush out. The mohel then tried for half an hour to stop the bleeding, without success. Finally, an ambulance was called.

You would think that this is the kind of "mishap" no man would ever, ever make.

Anyone seen the Seinfeld episode with the crazy Mohel?

[ErnBatavia]

It's OK though....it'll grow back thicker and darker.

Some Mohels should not work during hay-fever season........

AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!!

That's all I can say.

Circumcision is exactly the same a female genitalia mutilation. Religious perversion; ritualized sadism; the act of bitter, envious people. A sick plague volunteered upon mankind by another perversion of religion. Bah!

Good grief, I thought Big Ben had fallen on them.

Jealous, huh?

[68 grunt]

Jealous, huh?

Of whom? Bitter? Yep, bitter that this paganism still exists, and that the ignorance which tolerates it simply exists.

A friend of mine, then in his early seventies I think, and very active, required circumcision for medical reasons. He wished it had been done when he was an infant. He was very uncomfortable, before and after, till it healed. A religious ritual? Perhaps, but not without a practical foundation.

[68 grunt]

I've heard that its really painful as an adult, especially when erections occur. There is also a valid medical reason in only a small fraction of un-circumsized men. The 'medical' reasons can be used for female genitalia mutilation, also.

I thought maybe it was Parkinson's..
