I\u2019ve yet to write the post about circumcision that I\u2019ve been toying with.\u00a0 Meanwhile, OTD has done it for me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great answer to some rabbi who asked about OTD\u2019s opinion on it and I agree with just about every word.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a little unsure about the interpretation of the data on the link to the National Jewish Population Survey about only 42% of Orthodox remaining that way.\u00a0 I think that was true of the older generation more than the younger ones.\u00a0 In any case and much to my continual amazement, Orthodoxy is actually getting younger.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s just a quibble and it has nothing to do with the point about this needless surgery.\u00a0 If you read the post you\u2019ll know how I feel, too.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
