Before ever performing a Bris Milah, during the years I was only performing medical  circumcisions, I always felt that this would be such a natural way for me to connect with the Jewish community.  Since learning the traditions of a Jewish baby's first rite of passage, it has been a great honor for me to take part in Bris Milah.  To come to your home and share this joyful occasion is extremely meaningful.  It is my goal to make each ceremony a memorable event filled with the happiness of Jewish tradition and as stress-free as possible for you and your family. 

Shalom,
