Jews Against Circumcision

A docollage in tribute to Jews opposing circumcision.

Jews around the world are thoughtfully divided over circumcision, even in Israel. Not all Jews support circumcision. A man does not need to be circumcised to be Jewish. Not every Jew circumcises their sons. There are many intact Jewish men. Many Jewish mothers regret their decision to circumcise. Many Jewish parents are at peace with leaving the circumcision decision to their intact sons. Many Jews have studied and reject infant circumcision, its alleged medical benefits and even its legality. Many Jews are proud to be Jewish but they reject circumcision. Many of us Jewish men are angry with being robbed of the choice on how to express our Jewishness on this most intimate part of our bodies, if at all. Without prejudice or commentary I present those voices here.
