Circumcision is a core value for the UK’s Jewish community – and a safe procedure for baby boys
Jonathan Arkush, barrister and co‑chair of Milah UK, defends Brit Milah as a fundamental and safe religious rite. Performed at eight days old by trained mohelim under Initiation Society oversight, the ceremony carries deep communal significance. He stresses that complications are exceptionally rare due to rigorous standards. Arkush responds to secular critiques, underscoring that circumcision remains central even among non‑observant Jews.
