For non-Jewish families, I am honored to perform the
circumcision for their newborn son.
I use the same method or technique used in the context of a
Brit Mila ceremony. Again, it is usually performed in the
family home with the assistance of the mother and father to
help calm and comfort the baby. No restraining board is
used, instead the baby is placed on a simple sleeping
pillow. I use the EMLA cream and other elements described
within this site to help minimize the discomfort of the
procedure as much as reasonably possible.
For Christian families who desire a ceremony, I am happy
to assist them in designing one that meets their needs.
Again, please call my office to discuss these options
further.
