While my wife and I were expecting our baby, one of the questions we received most frequently from Jewish relatives and acquaintances was, “You’ll circumcise the baby if it’s a boy, right?”
My response was always a firm, “No.”

Maybe you’d think that would have been the end of those conversations, but these people never gave up at that stage (perhaps it’s the Jewish love of discussing/arguing that encouraged them to keep talking). Instead, after my “no,” I was nearly always then treated to a rant about how circumcision the right thing to do as Jews, and it’s the right thing to do for health and hygiene purposes, and it’s the right to do generally in today’s society, which meant that any uncircumcised boy might feel left out.
