The unkindest cut
When our son was born, my wife decided circumcision was barbaric, but my parents insisted it was an essential Jewish tradition. Behold the sad tale of how one foreskin tore a family apart.
By Neal Pollack [2007-01-09]

  • Too sad

    That's the saddest story. I almost feel worse for the mother who was bullied into mutilating her child than I do for the baby!

    I admire Neal Pollack for being so honest about this controversial subject, but I don't think I'd admit it publicly if I let my parents push me around that way and compromised my values on something so important.
