Rabbis, would you be kind enough to answer this Sheelah? Thank you, DS

4.DS replied:

Of course, the great majority of non-Jewish boys of Clinton's generation in America were circumcised at the age of 4 days in hospitals. Now it is starting to change, unfortunately.

In addition, Jewish circumcision involves two steps, 1. cutting the foreskin, and 2. pushing back the membrane. Do hospitals do both?

As far as I know, that type of medical circumcision doesn't count for conversion unless it is done in the proper spirit, with the proper intention, with a Brachah - although I would agree with you, it is better than nothing.

The question is: does circumcision done for medical , and not religious reasons, count as a Brit Milah?  When a non-Jew who already had a medical circumcision converts, they remove a drop of blood, as far as I know.

 So the question is: which circumcision qualifies a man for the attendance to the Seder: simply medical circumcision, or full-fledged Brit Mila?

I think we should ask a knowledgeable rabbi what it means re: attendance to a Seder, i.e. Korban Pessach. That is a very good question. I will forward this question to one of the many rabbis on this panel.

Monica Lewinsky said BILL Clinton was circumcised.........who would refute a statement from a nice-jewish-girl......he  he  he

 

2.DS answered:

 

Very nice, I agree...there is only a slight, little problem:

NON-JEWS, ARELIM ( uncircumcised according to Torah) ARE ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE KORBAN PESSACH. And the Seder is a substitute for the Korban Pessach , until the Temple is rebuilt and the Pessach sacrifice is reinstated.

So Mr. Giuliani, Ms. Clinton and Mr. Gore would be better advised to go watch another game, during those few precious hours of the remembrance of The Exodus from Egypt, and the Afikoman - that is, UNLESS they convert, and the men go through a Brit Mila.

That is an absolute Torah Law, ask any rabbi.
