Bris Avrohom celebrates 30 years of cutting penis

The New Jersey Jewish News reports,

For close to 30 years, Bris Avrohom has performed outreach to the Russian immigrant community, bringing many brought up under communism back to Judaism.

This month the Chabad-affiliated organization in Hillside marked a milestone: the 6,000 britot, or circumcisions, it has performed for boys and even grown men.

Pshhhh…6,000 is a very significant number, of course. Did you know that the world itself has been around for less than 6,000 years? Oh, absolutely. And literally. We know this from our Gedoylim, who are all on a much higher level than we are. It’s a tenet of haredi Judaism. Circumcision is a special divine covenant just for the Jews, and to a lesser extent, the Muslims. No one else performed this ritual for religious reasons before we did. It started with us, with Abraham.

It was not already prevalent throughout East Africa. Anyone who says it was is a heretic.

And miracles happen to those who perform circumcision. It protects Jews. Just like it did in Poland!

She recalled how the family — her husband and son included — then walked through the deep snow to the Kanelskys’ home to pay their shiva call. The rebbitzin, Shterney Kanelsky, asked them to participate in another mitzva — to be “couple number one” at Bris Avrohom’s annual mass ceremony in which couples married under civil law are wed according to Jewish tradition. Deutsch, who had performed the double brit, stood with them under the huppa.

Their lives changed from that time, she said. She began to light Shabbat candles and stopped working on Shabbat, although she didn’t know where she would find other work. Within minutes of that decision, she said, her cellphone rang and she was offered her old job back — with longer and better hours.

WOW! What Jewish woman wouldn’t want her man and boys cut when such miracles readily occur for those who are?
