Have Knife - Will Travel

Welcome to travelingmohel.com! If you are expecting a boy, or if your son has just been born, and you live in an area without a local mohel (or the local mohel is unavailable, or you are exploring other options), travelingmohel.com is the address for you.

I come highly recommended by happy parents, rabbis and physicians, and have developed the traveling for a bris down to a science so that you have the best experience possible from a traveling mohel, your baby is given the attention he needs and deserves, and we remain in constant contact until your baby is completely healed from his bris (circumcision).

I currently live in South Florida, making me an ideal candidate to fly anywhere in the Caribbean or the United States. I am open to flying just about anywhere in the world!

Houston, we don't have a problem!

Here I am in Houston, for the second time this year. (By that I mean, here I am behind the camera at the bris that took place last week)

When the baby's father first contacted me, his number one concern was that the proper amount of foreskin be removed - not more than necessary. (Maybe he read this)

Anyway, I assured him that as the author of this and this, he had nothing to worry about. He happened to have me stay in his son's pediatrician's house for the evening (we are very informal within the Jewish community!), and she and I discussed her own concerns for boys that she sees especially immediately post-bris. And even though I told her about this conversation, she still found my insistence on the use of a marker, and concern for how things look (and that the proper amount of skin remains afterwards) to be very refreshing. The doctor also examined the baby a few hours after the bris and was VERY PLEASED saying "You're going to be the mohel in this town..."

Amen, may it be so.

Anyway, the lovely family hosted the bris in Houston's latest Kosher attraction - a very wonderful steakhouse.

Philadelphia and Southern NJ

Two weeks ago I flew into Philadelphia for a bris for the boy half of twins.
Here is the sky over Philadelphia (or somewhere on the East Coast)

Note those holes in the clouds!
After the bris, the parents were holding their babies for photos, so I snuck in for a selfie-taken-by-someone else.

Of course, only the little boy was the star of the show. His sister just came to cheer him on.
