You're gonna love learning about a certain priestly duty at said events. Clue: it involves the priest's mouth. 🤢

Oh, I'm sorry, downvoters. I misspoke. It's "rabbi", not "priest". Oops.

    Maybe in some cultures, but that’s not the norm. It was always just the doctor and his assistant. Honestly, it’s distressing to observe, so no parents or anyone else were allowed to be in the room. *I was a medical assistant for a gyno who did circumcisions during mom’s postpartum check up.
