Traditional Bris or Circumcision Without a Religious Ceremony

Traditional Bris Services

For Jewish families, Rabbi Schulgasser can provide circumcision as part of a traditional bris when the baby is healthy and there is no medical reason to delay.

Jewish tradition generally calls for circumcision on the eighth day after birth when the baby is healthy and medically ready. The preferred time for circumcision is during the first month of a baby's life. Babies in the second and third months may also be eligible. For older infants, please contact us to discuss eligibility.

Circumcision Without a Religious Ceremony

Circumcision does not have to include a religious ceremony. Families from different religious, cultural, and personal backgrounds can schedule newborn or infant circumcision without a traditional bris.

Rabbi Schulgasser provides the same professional attention and clear communication whether a family is planning a traditional bris or a non-religious circumcision.
