Stock photo of a Mohel, a traditional Jewish circumciser, blessing a male infant prior to circumcision. The Mohel is wearing a Talit, a traditional Jewish prayer shawl. Circumcision is a religious practice traditionally required by Judaism, performed in a ceremony called a Brit Milah. A mohel performs the ceremony on the eighth day after birth. According to the Torah (Genesis, chapter 17 verses 9-14), God commanded Abraham to circumcise himself, his offspring and his slaves as part of an everlasting covenant. Shot August 2006 in a Jerusalem synagogue.
