Zitat
As we discussed the details of their final steps of conversion, including immersion in the mikvah (ritual bath) I asked the man about circumcision. He took a deep breath and said, Rabbi, I am not circumcised and I would like to stay that way.
ZitatI told him I would convert him as long as in his heart he felt he could fully feel Jewish with his foreskin still on. He said he could, and I agreed to proceed.
ZitatI believe deeply in equality for men and women. We have no requirement for women to prick their fingers let alone genitalia to offer a drop of blood as a sign of being part of the covenant of the Jewish people. I do not think women are any more or less Jewish without this ritual. Especially when converting a man and a woman together, the lack of parity in their ritual obligations is stark and even embarrassing
So weit so gut - am Ende wird es dann doch widersprüchlich:
ZitatAt the end of the day, I believe in a person’s right to choose what they do and do not do with their bodies.
ZitatIf I had a son I would circumcise him.
