If you knew anything about Judaism, you’d know that a Brit Milah must happen on the eight day of life. This may only be postponed for medical reasons.

am aware of Brit Milah but awareness of this issue is spreading rapidly, boys born now will be much better informed as adults. who would risk alienating own sons for life? if you were confident he would embrace Judaism, you could leave it to him to decide.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRJghmkIVfY&t=9s …

I aim to be as observant as possible. If I am to like my life according to Halacha, I cannot not have my sons circumcised.

I’d also like to point out that not circumcising them would exclude them from partaking in any of the religious activities, particularly in Orthodox communities, since they would not be a part of the covenant. Although I will concede that opinions are somewhat varied on this.

And I think @Clopdads would gladly have given that up to have not gone through a bris.

Maybe he would have, but it’s cruel to subject anyone to that level of social isolation.

And we will likely disagree, but i say it is more cruel to literally carve a faith someone may not follow as an adult into their body. Also this is a secular world, isolation from your faith's activities is not truly social isolation.

As for your second point, it would depend on your community. For many Orthodox communities, this would be almost total isolation.

Others have adapted. There are some that reject the bris now, still more that do not require circumcision of converts. Its interesting they allow those who can make their own choice to say no but force it on their children.

sure, but Ali is talking from an Orthdodox perspective. all those adaptations are not recognized by Orthodox authorities.
