>Maybe your research skills are not up to the task, so let me give you a hand. I would suggest you begin with googling the word MOHEL. I asked a modern Orthodox academic that I know about this. Apparently, it does exist, but is extremely rare. He said that the practice of bloodletting still happens in some ultra-Orthodox communities, but to quote him, "most just 'draw blood' without resorting to pedophilia." I saw a Jewish circumcision once, I think one from the Conservative movement, and nothing like that was involved. >The Jerusalem Post had an interesting expose of the entire subject with pictures, life testimonies from Jews, and Talmudic citations to confirm the sacredness and authenticiity of this Jewish practice: Your link wasn't from the Jerusalem Post; it was from an anti-circumcision group. >I hope this gives you a bette understanding of the "sacred" rituals of the Judaism religion. Ummm... it doesn't sound like it's a sacred ritual to most Jews; just to something like 1% of the 10 million+ Jews in the world. -Z
