סיפורים טרגיים מבריטניה ומדרום אפריקה הצתו מחדש את הוויכוח על ברית מילה אבל לא כל שיטות הברית מילה זהות — ואיסורים גורפים עלולים לגרום נזק אמיתי מאמר זה בוחן מה השתבש, מה מובן לא נכון, ולמה המודל היהודי של ברית מילה מציע דרך בטוחה יותר קדימה

Tragic stories out of the UK and South Africa have reignited the circumcision debate. But not all circumcision practices are the same — and blanket bans risk doing real harm. This piece looks at what went wrong, what gets misunderstood, and why the Jewish model of Brit Milah offers a safer path forward.

״לפעמים טיהור אתני הוא דבר טוב.״ המשפט הזה לא נאמר בישיבת ממשלה או בדיון פוליטי.הוא נאמר סביב שולחן שבת — במקום שאמור להיות בטוח, משפחתי, מחבר. הרגע הזה שינה את כל השיחה.הוא אילץ אותי להתמודד עם שאלה שלא רציתי לשאול:מה קורה לנו, כחברה? מה שקרה אחר כך הפתיע אותי לגמרי — ולימד אותי משהו חשוב על האומץ לדבר, גם כשזה לא נוח

“Sometimes ethnic cleansing is a good thing.” The words hung in the air, as the rest of the guests anxiously awaited a response. But you'll never believe the response that came.

The Bondi Beach terror attack changed everything for me. When my daughter told me she was afraid to live in Israel, I thought I had an answer. Bondi Beach showed me I was wrong.

A simple drive stirred up so much — reminders of war, memories of loved ones, and a glimpse of how far we’ve come. Israel is still healing, but there is light again.

A gruesome circumcision accident in India made global headlines — and somehow, it was held up as a warning for the Jewish community. But the comparison being made? It overlooks something absolutely fundamental. Before we start questioning Brit Milah, we need to understand what actually happened — and what didn’t.

Social pressure? Or buyer’s remorse? John Cleese didn’t cancel his Israel shows for “safety.” After months of sharing fake news about Israel — and then deleting it — there’s more to the story.

Haaretz makes wild claims about our practice. History — and lived Jewish experience — say otherwise. Here’s why…

״קטיעות חלקיות״ ״עשרות סיבוכים״ נשמע מפחיד — עד שמבינים שמדובר בפאניקה מלאכותית. הסכנה האמיתית? לאפשר לבירוקרטים ולכותרות להגדיר מחדש את המצווה הקדושה ביותר שלנו

“Partial amputations.” “Dozens of complications.” Sounds terrifying — until you realize it’s manufactured panic. The real danger? Letting bureaucrats and headlines redefine our holiest mitzvah.

They call us the aggressors. The truth? We risked everything to save life — not just our own, but even theirs. And when we needed help, the world turned away.

The world says we’re wrong but we keep dancing anyway. A reflection on healing, faith, and the fight to reclaim our joy.

They call it “child abuse.” We call it tradition. From viral hate campaigns to government bans, the fight over Brit Milah has never been fiercer. Find out what’s really happening behind the headlines.

When satire abandons truth, it stops being comedy — and starts becoming complicity and it can have deadly consequences.

A botched bris is tragic. Turning it into a media crusade against Judaism is dangerous. The New Yorker & Shteyngart are at it again — here’s why it matters.

Murder on a train in Charlotte, riders froze as tragedy unfolded. Israel suffered similar cases yet with differing outcomes. When good people act — lives are saved. When they don’t — evil wins. It’s time to honor courage and stop excusing indifference.

Some mitzvot stay with you forever. Performing the Bris for the grandson of a beloved mentor was one of those unforgettable moments — equal parts joy, memory, and legacy.
