The links given below are either run by Jewish people or have specific content for Jews. In general it is thought that all Jews accept and support circumcision, that is simply not true. The Jewish faith has modified itself over the thousands of years it has been in existence and continues to do so. Being a Jew does not depend on circumcision and the links below demonstrate how many of the Jewish people continue in their age old tradition of great 'thinkers and inventors' but as with all peoples there are those that fight change and chose not to think. Much contained in these sites are as relevant to non-Jews as they are to the Jewish people.

The circumcision of any child without unavoidable medical need is an abuse of human rights of the child and the adult the child will become. It is a barbaric act of sexual abuse which degrades and shames any society that allows it. |
