Life sometimes gets in the way of posting things here.
As some people expect to see new content to know that this page and service is still being provided in South Florida (and beyond!) here is an update for all well-wishers and new parents, from the end of December 2023.
The last few brisses I have presided over, essentially since after October 7, have all included homage to Israel. The Jewish community - no matter level of observance or affiliation - is feeling the pain of what our brothers and sisters in Israel are going through.
Whether it is an additional prayer, or perhaps a child being named for a soldier who fell in battle, or for some other victim who left no child and no legacy, people are finding creative and meaningful ways to fulfill the verse of אם אשכחך ירושלים, if I forget thee O Jerusalem...
So many people are connected within 1 to 2 degrees of separation either to victims of 10/7 or to soldiers who are on the front lines.
Through it all, babies are still being born, Baruch Hashem, and the boys need their Bris Milah.
This mohel is still providing bris services, and I look forward to doing so, with God's help, for many more years. Go here to the welcome page.
As to how much I'll be blogging... that we shall see.
