Training and experience

The path

Learned from those who do it best.

1. Taught by my father, and by leading mohalim

   My training began 23 years ago in my own family, learning the profession directly from my father, in a line of mohalim going back many generations. Alongside him I studied with some of the top mohalim of our time.

2. Several hundred procedures during my training

   I took my training to the next level in practice with Rabbi Mike Rovinsky of EasyCircumcision.com, who trained and certified me. During that training I had the opportunity to perform over 300 circumcisions. There is no substitute for volume under a watchful eye: it is what turns knowledge into steadiness.

3. Trained for adult Bris Milah

   I am additionally trained to perform Bris Milah for adults — men who did not have the opportunity to go through the religious procedure as newborns. These procedures involve local anesthesia and a high degree of professional care to ensure comfort and smooth healing. I first observed an adult Bris years ago with Rabbi Aron Weiss, and most of my adult work since has been done together with Rabbi Yosef Heilbrun.

4. Serving communities abroad

   I have had the opportunity to travel and perform Bris Milah around the world, including approximately 40 procedures, mostly across Latin America, together with my Rabbi, Rabbi Yosef Heilbrun.
