Circumcision: The Mohel
In addition to being a religious officiant, the Mohel is a specialist in his field. Many physicians call Mohalim for the Brit Milah of their own sons. The surgery involved is simple and safe and any reputable Mohel is competent and highly qualified to perform a Brit Milah.
It is noteworthy to mention in this connection, that, following tradition of the Royal House of England, which requires circumsicion of all male children, it was the Jewish Mohel of London rather than the Royal Physician who was called to circumcise the son of Princess Elizabeth. The following news item from a British newspaper will be of interest:
Crown Prince Charles Circumcised by a London Mohel London (JTA)-Crown Prince Charles, son of Princess Elizabeth and heir to the British throne, was circumcised in Buckingham Palace by Rabbi Jacob Snowman, official Mohel of the London Jewish community. |

Dear Rabbi Malka,
Thank you again for performing the Brit Milah for our son Jared (kthr,f ) on November 18, as well as all the follow up care, phone calls and visit to check on him. We are deeply appreciative. He is doing well, eating well, and thriving, now over eight pounds. Many friends commented to us that they found the ceremony very moving. Isabel is doing very well too, and thankful she did not require your services!
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
Dvora, Bob, Jared Karl, and Isabel Eva.Johnson |
