Contemplating conversion
So I’ve been reading the book by Dr. Ron Goldman about questioning circumcision from a (reform) Judaism perspective. I’m working on converting (my dad is Jewish) but my son isn’t circ’d and it’s unlikely that any future kids will be either. I have a soft spot for Dr. Goldman anyway because he’s agreed to allow me to interview him for my book. (The proposal goes out tomorrow. Knock wood and so forth.) Back to circumcision, unlike many no circ advocates, I don’t think that bris milah is wrong. I mean, jeez, you can’t argue with faith. However, I would be a hypocrite to say that I believe that a bris is right for my family.
