Man glaubt es kaum:
"It’s 2017. Time to Talk About Circumcision"
"Today, it seems that secular Jews cling to the latest myth: the health/medical one, which assumes that removal of the foreskin does not cause any harm, and even protects against diseases. This is a 150-year-old falsehood that developed in the United States, when cutting the foreskin was seen as a “cure” for masturbation."
"Once Milah is no longer the last consensus that connects the tribes of Israel, there will be an opportunity to recalculate our course and examine what does connect us. It’s in our hands. We – the generation with all its diversity and Jewish outlooks, from ultra-Orthodox to atheist – must sit down and seriously discuss how to connect the tribes without ignoring those issues that divide us."
