Brit, not bureaucracy: Bringing Judaism to the masses
Why are ritual circumcision, conversion and Jewish identity at the forefront of Israel’s religious and political debate? In this episode of “Judeacation,” JNS Middle East Correspondent Josh Hasten sits down with Rabbi Hayim Leiter, founder of Magen HaBrit, for a candid and fascinating conversation from the biblical heartland of Israel.
Broadcast from the JNS Media Hub in Jerusalem, this episode dives deep into life in Judea and Samaria, as Rabbi Leiter—an expert mohel, wedding officiant and member of a private Orthodox Beit Din—explains his mission to protect the sacred Jewish ritual of Brit Milah and make it safer and more accessible for Jewish families around the world.
