      @@heythere8802 No, you're just a mlsinformation bot/troII. If anything, the "bad parents" are the ones who allow their sons to deal with horrible reproductive issues in the future. Stop projecting your trauma as an unclrcumcised male onto other peoples' sons, it's creepy and irresponsible

    We're Jews against circumcision - so we had a brit shalom. Just as wonderful and no pain for my son. He can make his own decision when he's older.

      I have found limited resources on this. Were there any other things you did for the ceremony that was important to you and your family? I have heard of cutting pomegranate or washing the baby's feet, for example.

      There's no such thing as a "brit shalom", that's something antlsemitlc organizations created to estrange Jews to their own culture. Furthermore, the "he can decide for himself" argument is flawed in so many ways that it can't even be covered in a short comment. As for you personally, there's no reason to believe you are actually Jews; countless antl-clrcumcision bots masquerade as Jews and other individuals to create a narrative. Long story short, I don't buy it, and I think it's pretty telling that you have to prey on and organize against people on UA-cam talking about their own culture. I'm thankful that the movement against clrcumcision will fail.

      Please consider leaving your son intact. I was circumcised without my consent and I resent it. The foreskin is the male prepuce and protects the glans penis, and is extremely sensitive. You have a prepuce too. It's called the clitoral hood and it protects the glans clitoris. Nobody should have their prepuce cut off without their consent. I understand that there is huge religious and cultural pressure behind this practice, but if you can put your religion and culture aside for one minute and think about the health of your child and think how you would feel if someone cut off your clitoral hood, then your motherly instinct will let you see how cruel this is. Please don't do this to your son.

    Interesting....the only Bris I have ever seen was Leo Steadman's on 30 something.:) As an old nurse I did take care of babies in the nursery after they were circimsized and they calmed down pretty quickly. We fed them a bottle or took them to Mom too breastfeed. Having it in your home is very special and much easier on the babe.

    I'm glad i found your video, I'm not Jewish or Pregnant, but my mother says if i ever have a son in the future she wants me to circumcise him (no if ands or buts about it because she would of circumcised me if i was a boy), an i would feel more comfortable with a Mohel if i have a home birth (or birthing center) an have the circumcise be a spiritual event instead of a cosmetic one. But just because i'm not Jewish doesn't mean i don't love your channel i love learning about cultures an seeing the lives of other people and i also like learning about the Kabblah sometimes, an i have a family friend who converted an married a Jewish woman i love how they Cloth Diapered their two boys (hoping when i have a kid his wife can teach me how to cloth diaper while circumcised,) But i honestly don't want to circumcise my future son(s) but my aunt tells me stories about how men in the nursing home she works at can't keep themselves clean get infected an the horror stories convinced me to look into a Mohel
