“If your mother is Jewish, you are Jewish, period,” is correct. However a Jew without a Brit Milah, is like an American citizen born on American soil but never had a passport, social security card or birth certificate.

It’s so great that you are able to think critically about a blood ritual that has gone on so long without being seriously questioned! Bravo. The Brit Shalom is a wonderful ceremony and the fact that it doesn’t include genital cutting on perfectly normal healthy infant boys is a step in the right direction.

This is an excellent essay! It takes courage for someone to challenge an established ritual (from within his religion) and speak out for the bodily integrity rights of infants.
