Jews who abandon circumcision

• Sexual Health

"I know circumcision is historic, tribal and runs really deep, but I don't think it's right,'' says Avi Rose, 49, of Oakland, who did not circumcise his adopted son, Oren. ``It's precisely because I'm so committed to Judaism that I couldn't do what feels deeply wrong. A core ritual to welcome a newborn into the Jewish world shouldn't do unnecessary violence.''

Saying no to circumcision

The Defense of Circumcision Act (DOCA) I would like to suggest new legislation for the purpose of protecting and preserving the sanctity of circumcision. Traditionally, circumcision has been a sacred institution honoring the covenant between God and the Children of Abraham set forth in Genesis 17. Only recently, gentiles began emulating the motions and mechanics of circumcision, but violating its sanctity by conducting it without religious ritual, on non-Jews, in secular, medical contexts. The act of circumcision was defined thousands of years ago as a sacred rite performed upon a Jewish child, for the purpose of sanctifying a man before God. This is older even than the tradition of limiting “traditional Judeo-Christian Marriage” to one man and one woman. To reduce circumcision to a mere clinical procedure, requiring only a scalpel and some Betadine, is a mockery of Judaism and of God Himself. Furthermore, The Bible and millennia of tradition explicitly forbid duplicating the act of circumcision, without ritual, upon non-believers: "Circumcise then your heart, and stiffen your neck no more" (Deut. 10:16). "Circumcise yourselves to the LORD And remove the foreskins of your heart, Men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My wrath go forth like fire And burn with none to quench it, Because of the evil of your deeds" (Jer. 4:4). And not just in The Bible, but in The New Testament as well: "For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God" (Rom 2:28-29). I remind you, this tradition is even older than the tradition of marriage between one man and one woman. It is not only older than marriage, but in Jewish law it is a prerequisite to marriage. Without the sacred ritual of circumcision to sanctify a man before God, marriage itself is not sacred. And above all, we must preserve the sanctity of marriage. Therefore, I ask that the state recognize this millennia old definition of circumcision. We must amend our constitution to officially define circumcision as a privilege reserved solely for Jews to sanctify themselves before God. We must forbid non-Jews from changing and corrupting the definition of circumcision, and by extension, the institution of marriage upon which our civilization depends. We need to lobby our legislators to put this amendment before the citizens for a vote as quickly as possible. Sincerely, Rev.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Jews who abandon circumcision. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
