It is not the illinois bris that they criticize. It is the Bris that each and every one of us is proud to have had.

American Academy of Pediatrics now SUPPORTS giving all newborns circumcisions (its position used to be neutral). Not that this is our “incentive” for bris, but clearly even from a medical standpoint, bris is BENEFICIAL (and certainly not, C”V the opposite)

why is he dressed in white is it Lubavitch costum to wear a kittel??

Trauma??

The use of this word is a misnomer. Although a bris does inflict a wound, which can be defined as trauma, the insinuation that there are any lingering physical or psychological dysfunctions as a result of the bris is ludicrous. In fact, I defy anyone to show me data to the contrary. G-d bless the Mohelim who do their holy work!

At the hospital following the birth of one of my sons, a doctor offered to do the circumcision in the hospital- he said it would only take about 15 minutes! When we told him that a mohel takes a few seconds, if that long, the doctor was impressed, intrigued, etc. Just shows the lack of information about a Jewish bris.
The letter writer has an average college student mentality- don’t even ask about other things college student mentality focuses on these days………….

nice answer to the ignorant fellow!
