Mohel Services- Bris Milah (Brit Milah)

The person who performs the Bris is called a “Mohel.” He is a specialist surgeon with special expertise in Jewish ritual circumcision, not just a doctor or surgeon. To qualify as a Mohel one must be a G-d-fearing, Torah observant Jew (Shulchan Aruch, Yora Deah , chapter. 264.1), and must also be trained in all of the myriad Jewish laws and medical laws pertaining to Bris Milah. The Talmud  Sanhedrin 17b) discusses the community includes a doctor, and Rashi comments that the doctor is also a Mohel.

By having the Bris performed by a qualified Mohel one is assured that the entire procedure is acceptable to Biblical and halachic (Jewish law) standards, and performed in a most medically competent manner.
