Talk:Jews Against Circumcision

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)

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)


 * 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)

Merge with Brit Shalom
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)
 * 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)
