is he your mohel of choice or do you feel obligated to allow him to gain experience with your baby?

Quote from: henche on July 30, 2014, 05:34:57 PM

Let's say both.

ummm....let him gain experience elsewhere. Unless hes an expert I wouldnt let him touch my child. Same goes for residents vs doctors at the hospital. That said, a nice gift would be nicer than a cash to a relative

Never knew ppl pay so much, I gave $200 or $250 (don't remember) and I thought I was pretty fair.

You can avoid having students or residents work on you at hospitals by avoiding the teaching hospitals and just going to some no-name hospital--especially in a rural area.

I don't recommend it.

Also, he IS an expert, and IS my mohel of choice. And I also feel obligated to use him because he is my brother--not because of he needs the experience. He is fully experienced.

Or you can just refuse the interns and residents and wait either for your doctor or an attending. Excellent, it sounded like you were saying you were obligated and that you were giving him the experience. No issue at all then

If you do that, they have the orderlies do your surgery.

This question really all depends on how much of a cut the mohel is taking...

What if it is your brother, not your uncle... And you only let him because you feel obligated

ya think?

It was a desperate attempt

Those who say a mohel can't charge well neither can a teacher of torah. Those days are behind us.

henche · « **Reply #38 on:** July 30, 2014, 10:25:48 PM »

No, I do not get a MT, beyond for getting married last October. Sorry for any confusion folks. But my brother IS an expert mohel, and I WOULD cry uncle if someone charged me 600 for something my wife could do with a rock.

If I was a Mohel and someone told me that I'd say be my guest...
