Why is there so much anxiety associated with Bris?
Anxious feelings are normal and natural for new parents, but most of the anxiety is due to a fear of the unknown. Most expectant couples attend childbirth education classes where they are prepared for what to expect during childbirth. In the same way, becoming knowledgeable about Bris can allay the natural anxiety parents feel when planning a Bris for their son. Much of the anxiety comes from what parents learn in these childbirth classes about the circumcision technique performed in the hospitals, a much more painful and invasive procedure often lasting 7 to 20 minutes. When using a reliable Mohel, one need not worry as our procedure takes less than 20 seconds and is performed, as required by Jewish law, with minimal discomfort to the baby.
