Story about Jewish circumcision ritual

polya

Hi. I'm a graduate journalism student at New York University. I'm writing a story about the reaction of the Lubavitch Jewish community in Crown Heights to the declaration of the NYC health commissioner that a Jewish circumcision ritual (metzitzah b’peh) “has infected several infants in New York City with the herpes virus, including one child who died and another who has evidence of brain damage.” If you're a Lubavitch Jewish resident of Crown Heights and you'd like to talk to me about the issue, please contact me. Also, I'd like to interview a mohel (Jewish circumciser), and if anyone has ideas about the best way to get in touch with a mohel, I'd highly appreciate the information. You can email me at [email protected]. Thank you.
