Mohalim Address Safety, Legality of Metzitza B’peh

Several dozen prominent Mohalim from various Jewish communities in the New York City area gathered at the Ateres Golda Ballroom in Boro Park this past Sunday for a seminar on the safety and legality of Bris Milah and Metzitza B’peh.

Representing the Crown Heights Jewish community were expert Mohalim Rabbi Eliyahu Shain and Rabbi Yisroel Heller.

The panel heard from a prominent doctor, who went through various safety precautions for Mohalim to follow when performing a circumcision, followed by a lawyer who reviewed the various legal issues pertaining to the ancient Jewish practice under current Federal, State and local law.
