Commonly asked Questions
What Method Do You Use for Circumcision?
Rabbi Mendy Lipskier uses a traditional surgical technique that involves gently separating the natural adhesions with a probe and using a shield and scalpel for the procedure. He does not use painful clamping devices such as the Mogen or Gomco clamp on the baby’s foreskin.This method is widely regarded as less invasive, allows for greater precision, and is focused on minimizing discomfort while ensuring the bris is performed according to the highest halachic and professional standards.
Why Choose a Mohel Instead of a Doctor?
A Brit Milah is more than a medical procedure — it is a sacred Jewish tradition dating back to our patriarch Abraham. A qualified mohel is specially trained not only in the surgical aspects of circumcision, but also in the Jewish laws, traditions, and spiritual components of the bris ceremony.Because mohalim perform circumcisions full-time and often have far more experience than the average physician, they are widely known for performing the procedure quickly, gently, and with minimal discomfort for the baby. In addition, only a properly trained and observant mohel can ensure that the Brit Milah is performed according to all halachic (Jewish legal) requirements.
Do You Only Provide Services for the Jewish Community?
No. While Rabbi Mendy Lipskier specializes in traditional Jewish Brit Milah ceremonies, he also provides professional circumcision services for families of all backgrounds who are looking for an experienced specialist with a gentle and caring approach.Every family is treated with warmth, respect, and personalized care throughout the entire process.
What Is the Fee for Your Services?
Fees can vary depending on the type of service, location, and individual circumstances. Please feel free to contact Rabbi Mendy Lipskier directly to discuss details, ask questions, and receive personalized guidance.His priority is ensuring that every family receives the care, attention, and support they need during this special time.
Testimonies
We could not be happier with Rabbi Lipskier as a mohel for our son. As a primary care physician who is trained in circumcisions, I can personally attest to Rabbi Lipskier’s immaculate technique, bedside manner and overall efficiency in both the procedure as well as the Jewish laws and customs involved with a Bris Milah. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a Bris for their son, no matter their level of Jewish observance.Danny Abelev, MD

I have interviewed many people before I did my son’s Brit. When I met Mendy I was so sure and confident that he will be the one performing the Brit. His gentle and caring approach made me feel comfortable and safe. Since then I have been referring him to all family and friends. Everyone been thanking me so much for this referral.

Dear Mendy,As we celebrate our son's fifth birthday, I find myself reflecting on that special day when you performed his bris in our home. Despite the challenges of COVID, your commitment to helping us continue Abraham's covenant brought profound meaning to this sacred milestone.Your meticulous attention to detail and gentle care throughout the ceremony were truly appreciated. Your willingness to accommodate our small home celebration during such uncertain times meant everything to our family. The thoughtful follow-up care you provided afterward was equally reassuring.Five years later, your service remains in our hearts with deep gratitude. The beautiful way you helped us fulfill this mitzvah under difficult circumstances is something we will always treasure.With sincere appreciation,

Rabbi Lipskier has performed a briss on our two younger sons. Both briss’ were done beautifully and halachally. The Rabbi followed up with us daily to make sure everything was in order and that babies were healthy. I truly cannot say enough good about Rabbi Lipskeir. our second son had a small genetic issue and the rabbi was able to proceed with the briss safely and successfully telling us that if he didn’t feel comfortable, he would not do it. The amount of comfort as a mother that I have received from Rabbi Lipskeir knowing that both of my boys Briss’s were done completely safely is more than words can say. I would highly recommend him to any Jewish family.
-Molly McGill
We had the privilege of having Rabbi Lipskier as our sons Mohel and we couldn't have asked for a more meaningful and comforting experience. It meant a lot to me the care he showed after the brit. He checked in on us and the baby multiple times, just to make sure everything was healing properly and that we were doing okay. That personal follow-up and genuine concern really touched us and made us feel supported. We feel truly blessed to have had him perform such a sacred ceremony. Thank you so much!Best Regards,The Khaimov family
We were very pleased with Rabbi Mendy Lipsker as our mohel. He made himself available before and after the bris, answered all our questions, and made us feel confident and at ease throughout the process.
He traveled out of town, dedicated many hours, and showed real care for our baby and family. His professionalism and warmth were clear every step of the way.
Rabbi Lipsker also emceed and ran the bris beautifully. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him.
