wtf -- oral-suction circumcision?

[akubi]

"The centuries-old practice, called metzizah bi peh or metzitzah b'peh, involves a mohel using his mouth to suction blood from the wound after the foreskin is removed. The ritual is performed by Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox Jews."


ok, so the rabbi sucks the blood off the newborn's newly disfigured penis?

jewish readers, please educate me.

I'm a reform Jew, but I've never heard of this before. Ultra-Orthodox jews make up a very small percentage of total Jews, though, and the majority of them are in Israel.

There's definately no explaining that one.

I'm not sure what you expect the few Jewish members to explain. These ultra-orthodox Jews make up a very small percentage of an already small number of Jews (There are only around 14 million Jews).

Didn't a dirty rabbi give a bunch of babies syphilis by doing this?
