I&#8217;m Jewish and have a strong sense of my identity, and I&#8217;m married to a Jewish man. Not surprisingly, I felt obligated to go through with the circumcisions. But the experience did not reflect my spirituality\u2014in fact, I was deeply upset by it.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u200bI started writing about it<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I wanted to express my feelings in a way that was respectful of Judaism and consistent with Jewish thought, so I started doing research into Jewish law. I published articles questioning circumcision in <em>Tikkun<\/em> and <em>Midstream<\/em>, and did a few public presentations. Then I moved on to other topics. I&#8217;d finally gotten circumcision out of my system\u2014or so I thought.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">A book idea grabbed me and wouldn&#8217;t let go<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>More than ten years later, I found myself imagining a male character who explores the circumcision controversy\u2014and his own psychic wounds\u2014as he seeks meaning in his Jewish identity. It took awhile to teach myself to write fiction, but eventually I completed <em>The Measure of His Grief<\/em> (Notim Press, 2010), a novel about a Jewish doctor in Berkeley who wages a campaign against circumcision while trying to reclaim his personal life, his professional standing, and his Jewishness. Again, I thought I was done&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Where was the resource for brit shalom families (Jewish families opting out of circumcision)?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>But then I began contemplating the growing number of families seeking peaceful alternatives to the traditional bris. Along with co-author Rebecca Wald, I wrote <em>Celebrating Brit Shalom<\/em>, the first-ever book for Jewish parents who choose not to circumcise. My co-author and I ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund our project. We also had original music written and produced to accompany the ceremonies in the book. Please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/celebratingbritshalom.com\">our book&#8217;s website<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Quiet inclusion of brit shalom families<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, I was inspired by the exemplary efforts of progressive Judaism to include and welcome families that may not appear traditionally Jewish. A lightning bolt struck: I needed to explore, and write about, the inclusion of non-circumcising families in synagogues and other Jewish organizations. I reached out to quite a few rabbis, and was surprised to learn that such families have been welcome for years in progressive synagogues across the country\u2014under the radar, that is. Since the welcome isn&#8217;t explicit, non-circumcising parents may not realize there&#8217;s a place for them in mainstream Jewish life. Most likely, synagogues and other Jewish institutions are losing the affiliation of such families. And those who are committed to Jewish life, but not to circumcision, may feel alienated and isolated from our community.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Bruchim: A New Organization<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m working to change this, and am very proud to say that I&#8217;m co-founder and President of Bruchim, a new Jewish nonprofit that advocates for the open inclusion of non-circumcising families in Jewish life. <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bruchim.online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Please visit our website!<\/a><\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">#default-btn-b2842539f4a8ec78e6c3bb639c768b14.ico-right-side > i {\n  margin-right: 0px;\n  margin-left: 8px;\n}\n#default-btn-b2842539f4a8ec78e6c3bb639c768b14 > i {\n  margin-right: 8px;\n}\n<\/style><a href=\"http:\/\/bruchim.online\" class=\"default-btn-shortcode dt-btn dt-btn-m link-hover-off white-button btn-inline-left \" target=\"_blank\" id=\"default-btn-b2842539f4a8ec78e6c3bb639c768b14\" title=\"Visit Bruchim\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Visit Bruchim<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1652120967608{padding-top: 3em !important;padding-bottom: 3em !important;background: #836373 url(https:\/\/www.lisabravermoss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/page-title-section.jpg?id=1451) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1648634843564{margin: 0px !important;padding: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;Jewish Circumcision: Essays&#8221; title_align=&#8221;separator_align_left&#8221; color=&#8221;custom&#8221; border_width=&#8221;2&#8243; accent_color=&#8221;#c19751&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; gap=&#8221;35&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1652133257036{padding-top: 2em !important;padding-bottom: 2em !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text] You&#8217;re Jewish\u2014and proud of it.
