Welcome!
Thank you for visiting! I hope you find the information on this website helpful.
The time of the birth of a child is one at which many parents stop to reflect upon the meaning of their lives, and consider the environment in which they want to raise their children. The Jewish faith guides us in opportunities to celebrate as we thank our Creator for the gift of a new life, and to help us focus on the values and lifestyle we want to impart.
No family will be denied the mitzvah of Milah because of inability to pay.
This Biblical commandment of a Bris Milah is the performance of Ritual Circumcision and its accompanying ceremony. The ritual brings the baby boy into the Bris, or covenant, between the everlasting relationship between G-d and the Jewish people. Done on the 8th day of life, unless there is G-d forbid a medical problem, Bris Milah has been a time of great joy and celebration over the last 3300 years. It is performed by a Mohel, an expert in both the medical procedure and the religious laws of Bris Milah. A Rabbi may participate in the ceremony, which may be done at home or at a synagogue. Family members and Jewish friends may also be honored with participation in the ceremony. Our forefather Abraham accompanied his son Isaac’s Bris with a festive meal (Talmud, Shabbos 130A), and we now usually do the same.
I have been a practicing Mohel since 1993, and have trained under Rabbi Haskel Wachsmann zt”l and Rabbi Yaacov Werde of Lubavitch. I have brought my two sons as well as over a thousand Jewish boys into the Covenant between G-d & the Jewish People. The ceremony which I perform gives explanations the ceremony’s significance and is meaningful to those from all affiliations and backgrounds.
Because of time constraints my practice of Milah is often (but not always) restricted to the Baltimore area. In that this may interfere with our policy of never denying the Mitzvah of Milah to those families unable to pay, be aware that whenever possible we will gladly perform a kosher Bris at our home for individuals that need this service and that my schedule precludes my going to see.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
