Mazel Tov! :) (or is it B'Shah Tovah?)

Most mohelim if asked won't do metzizah bpeh
I doubt any Mohalim will do MB after being asked not too, at worst they might not want to do the Briss for you.

Do you mean not at all, or not b'peh?

If I was making a bris today, and was concerned about that, i would just do the metzitza myself. I know I don't  have open herpes sores.

You may find mohelim that won't do b'peh, and you may find mohelim that won't do the bris if you say you don't want b'peh. The mohel for my son's bris, and I would imagine most mohelim do the same, asked if I wanted him to do it b'peh or not.

Someone mentioned Rabbi Krohn and the fact that it's no big deal for a mohel from Queens to come to BP/Flatbush for a bris (unless of course it's Shabbos, and even then many mohelim will come stay in your area though it might not be worth the hassle). Along the same lines, I highly recommend Rabbi Krohn's son in law, Rabbi Perlstein from Far Rockaway. PM me if you want his number. My sister used him for 3 all 3 sons (and probably will again for #4 on the way) and highly recommended him, so we went with him. The shul we made the bris at gave us a pretty small window to daven and do the bris before the next minyan, so it was really critical that he was super efficient and timely. Plus he walks you through every little thing you can imagine and is really good at reassuring the mothers.

As least the City accusations had impacts on someone.

Looks like you are not following the case deeply...

Chazaka  ;D

Why wouldn't you assume she told me? Happens to be she didn't, I meant if #4 is a boy they'd probably use him again.

My wife's cousins are both Mohelim, Binyamin and Chaim Zimmerman. They are grandsons of the famous R' Mordechai Zimmerman, the Mohel. Binyamin is older and he did the bris on my younger son, and Chaim did the bris on my older one.

They live in Lakewood but travel into brooklyn all the time to make a bris, (I live in brooklyn). PM me if you want their numbers.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

It sounds like he doesn't understand the difference.

Think most people don't know much about Metzitza B'peh other than what they hear from the Media.  Wonder if any bother to ask their LOR what they should do.
