This podcast is fire. We really dig deep into circumcision from a whole bunch of angles. If you're expecting and thinking of snipping your boy or just curious about schlong-cutting in general, give a listen.
In the 1st of a 2-part series on circumcision, we talk with 2 critics of the practice: Gary @Shteyngart & Max Buckler. We discuss circumcision from the perspective of morality, Jewish tradition, medicine gender norms & the rights of parents/children. solo.to/evolverecon

Jewish texts belong to liberal Jews. The Talmud is a Jewish book, not an Orthodox book. Rashi & the Rambam never heard of “Orthodoxy.” Liberal Jews (like all Jews) are authorized AND responsible to learn & interpret Jewish texts. And our interpretations are authentically Jewish.

There is more than one way to observe Shabbat.
There is more than one way to believe in God (or not).
There is more than one way to keep kosher.
There is more than one way to feel about Israel.
There is more than one way to be Jewish.

My shul-goers parents believed in the b’tzelem Elokim concept that we’re created in the image of YHVH and that our bodies are a precious gift from God; 45 years ago they didn’t succumb to the pressure of having their son circumcised and I’m very grateful.
