Talk:Jews Against Circumcision

Latest comment: 18 years ago by JIP in topic Merge with Brit Shalom

What is the pervcentage of Jews who do not circumcise their boys?

Sorry, I don't think that any statistics are available. - Jakew 12:01, 22 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

Well, many Rabbis I know would say that anone who fails to obey the covenant isn't a Jew, so the percentage would be zero.

That's not quite correct. An uncircumcised Jew is considered an uncircumcised Jew, and remaining uncircumcised is considered a sin but not a revocation of one's membership of the Jewish people. Have you actually asked the rabbis you are referring to? JFW | T@lk 02:29, 17 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and you forgot that the question was "what is the percentage of Jews". The fathers may themselves be circumcised, and not circumcising their sons may be a sin but again no grounds for revocation of Jewish status. JFW | T@lk 02:31, 17 August 2005 (UTC)Reply


Merge with Brit Shalom edit

I think it's a bit much to have separate articles here. Both are only three lines, and although both can be expanded, either Brit Shalom should be merged here, or vice-versa. --jnothman talk 12:16, 31 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Agree. I'll put it to VfD. - Jakew 13:05, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

I've added brit shalom to the VFD. Neither seem to be viable. JFW | T@lk 22:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
