I have been a practicing mohel since I completed my training in Israel with Rabbi Mordechai Sasson, the government supervisor of Mohels in Israel, in 1998.
I have a unique style of presiding over a bris, which celebrates Jewish tradition while maintaining the utmost sterility in the care of your son. Beginning with a phone call before the bris and continuing through the follow-up visit and follow-up phone calls, I look forward to guiding you through every step of the bris journey with charm and graciousness. You will be given the time and courtesy you deserve, sensitively and professionally, to make your overall bris experience meaningful and memorable. In our time together, I hope to bring a little smile through an appropriate sense-of-humor, to help ease the natural tension some experience at the prospect of the bris.
The number of brisses I have performed is in the 4 digits (that description won't need an update for awhile!), both Ashkenazic and Sephardic, which also includes moderately affiliated, unaffiliated, single moms, and many other unique family circumstances, in my role as a professional mohel throughout the US, Caribbean Islands, and Israel. See a mini-log of some of my travels at travelingmohel.com. Many have been repeat customers! Through my over 25 years in the field, I have participated as a mohel in several thousand brisses, directly responsible for the baby's care either by myself or with the guidance of a senior mohel (when I was training).
For my schooling and rabbinic training, I studied in Yeshivat Har Etzion in Gush Etzion, Israel, and completed my rabbinic ordination and a Masters in Education at Yeshiva University in New York. Some of my Torah thoughts can be found on my other blog: arabbiwithoutacause.blogspot.com. In addition to all that, I have the privilege and great honor of serving as the rabbi of Anshei Chesed Congregation, an Orthodox Synagogue in Palm Beach County, FL.
