Let’s be honest: talking about Jewish circumcision (brit milah) can feel fraught. It's been a bedrock of Jewish identity for millenia and for many Jews, circumcision represents a profound, emotional connection to the tradition. But many of us also wrestle with the idea of circumcision from a place of deep ethical reflection, informed by conversations about bodily autonomy, progressive values, and what "covenant" means today. This three-session course is a brave, non-judgmental space to hold all of it. we'll explore foundational texts about circumcision in Tanakh and Talmud, historical and modern concerns with and alternatives to circumcision, and Jewish values that can inform the decision to circumcise or not to circumcise. Bring all your questions, confusions, and criticisms -- we’re using traditional sources and radical commentary to unpack it all.
