mohel
Ritual circumcision performer
A mohel is a Jewish man trained to perform ritual circumcision (brit milah) on infant boys, traditionally on the eighth day after birth.
The mohel combines religious authority with surgical skill, reciting blessings while performing the procedure.
The role requires specialized training in both Jewish law and the medical aspects of circumcision.
