    Don’t forget the rabbi sucks the blood off the penis with his mouth! I think it’s only certain ones, not all, but fuck me it’s disgusting and cruel .

      That’s an orthodox Jewish thing, actually. Circumcision still happens in the US, and for Christians but it’s usually done at the hospital.

          Cool cool, yeah.

          And just to be 100% clear here, the blood sucking thing–to my understanding–is not even close to a common practice among Jewish folks. We’re taking only orthodox and possibly even only ultra-orthodox.

          Oh, and you might have been looking for the word “rabbi”.

            Oh, and you might have been looking for the word “rabbi”.

            It’s actually “mohel”, but I’d assume (without any reason) that all or most mohels are rabbis I guess, but there’s also mohelets, female mohels, and those probably aren’t rabbis so. Some overlap probably between “mohel” and “rabbi”, but different things.
