It’s actually “mohel”, but I’d assume (without any reason) that all or most mohels are rabbis I guess, but there’s also mohelets, female mohels, and those probably aren’t rabbis so. Some overlap probably between “mohel” and “rabbi”, but different things.
Don’t forget the priest sucks the blood off the penis with his mouth! I think it’s only certain ones, not all, but fuck me it’s disgusting and cruel .
That’s an orthodox Jewish thing, actually. Circumcision still happens in the US, and for Christians but it’s usually done at the hospital.
Correct. I couldn’t think of the name, but generally in the hospital and they just ask at birth.
Cool cool, yeah.

Religious people often are. Dogma trumps reason.
