From the first meeting until the final checks of our son's mila, it was a real pleasure and blessing to work with Rabbi Feldstein as our mohel. We had a Shabbos bris and Rabbi Feldstein traveled to our community to stay over with his family. We felt that Rabbi Feldstein, whom we had just met a few times, participated fully in the simcha of our new son and became a friend. He was very caring and sensitive - towards us (the parents), our family members, and of course, our new baby boy. He performed the bris with precision and skill, and remained calm and focused, despite a lot going on beforehand. The post-bris instructions were easy to follow and our new son did great. We would highly recommend using Rabbi Feldstein as your mohel if you want someone who is highly-skilled and knowledgeable in mila and a wonderful person to deal with.

Using Rabbi Ari as our son’s mohel was the best decision. Our son had high bilirubin leading up to the Bris and Rabbi Ari was with us every step of the way. Between coming to the house numerous times to check on our son and always making time to speak on the phone, Rabbi Ari consistently dealt with us with phenomenal sensitivity. BH we were able to have the Bris bzmano and everything went flawlessly because of Rabbi Ari’s professionalism. We highly recommend using Rabbi Ari!

We were extremely impressed with Rabbi Feldstein’s calm demeanor from meeting before the bris, on the morning of & throughout the follow up. He explained everything so clearly and answered every question with ease. He calmed the nerves of the new mother by explaining in detail the timing & what to expect. He also allowed for us to enjoy the occasion by giving us the aftercare instructions after all was over. We are so grateful!

Dear Rabbi Feldstein,
Thank you so much for making our simcha so beautiful! Your sensitivity, care, and overall professionalism really made the bris so special. We especially appreciated how you took the time to explain everything to us in laymen's terms and made everyone feel at ease. Thank you so much again!
A very happy parent
We highly recommend Rabbi Ari Feldstein as a mohel following a most positive experience we had when he performed a bris milah on our grandson earlier this year! Rabbi Feldstein’s extensive training and professional experience were evident from the beginning to the completion of the bris. He also brings warmth, humor, and expert follow up to the simcha, always keeping the baby’s and mother’s welfare central to his focus. We could not be happier with the choice our children made in asking Rabbi Feldstein to officiate at their first son’s bris!

Rabbi Ari Feldstein made the circumcision process simple, straightforward, and as gentle as possible. We were very fortunate he was available to make time to circumcise our second boy, since he travels many miles to make this process easy and comfortable and done in the privacy of one’s own home. Our eldest son was circumcised in the hospital shortly after he was born, and we were not allowed to be there to comfort him. Conversely, this experienced mohel performed my second son’s circumcision while I was able to be in the room with him, and I was grateful for his transparency and warmth. It also seemed to me my second son made a swifter recovery. Lastly, Rabbi Ari provided very clear and detailed instructions for caring for our boy in the subsequent days, which helped with the serenity of the overall experience.
Very grateful for Rabbi Ari!

Rabbi Ari Feldstein definitely makes the cut!
My wife and I were so impressed with his attention to detail.
At every step of the process we felt like he was there holding our hand. He made us feel very prepared and comfortable with the whole process.
I asked a lot of questions and R' Ari answered every question with patience and really explained everything well. He was very easy to reach and always returned calls promptly.
I even had a question maybe a month after the bris and R' Ari was more than happy to help out.
R' Ari was very professional and was never lax about making sure everything was sterile. He has the knowledge and expertise of someone with decades of experience.
R' Ari is the right mohel to choose for your dear son's bris.

Rabbi Feldstein exceeded our expectations as a mohel for our newborn son. From the outset, he was very responsive to any questions we had and also worked closely with us to navigate a unique medical situation. The bris itself was smooth and seamless and Rabbi Feldstein made sure the baby was as comfortable as possible during the process. After the bris, Rabbi Feldstein followed up several times to confirm the baby was healing as expected and to ensure we were familiar with the post-bris procedures that are needed. I would absolutely recommend Rabbi Feldstein to anyone who is looking for a mohel.
Adam Goldsmith

Rabbi Ari Feldstein was great! He was easy to work with, let us know ahead of time exactly how things would go and the few supplies we’d need for aftercare, and was very calm, professional, and careful with our little boy. He allowed us to remain in the room during the procedure, only if we wanted to, and calmly talked us through what he was doing. The procedure was quick and he gave detailed instructions on how to care for our boy afterward. Healing was very quick as well.

Rabbi Feldstein was the Mohel for 2 of our sons…he was professional, kind, attentive, and swift! We were very pleased and would be thrilled to use him again in the future!

We had a wonderful experience with our first son. Ari was very professional and answered all our questions. He was courteous and gave us all the instructions we needed. I highly recommend him.

In the days leading up to our son’s bris, Rabbi Feldstein was always available to address our concerns and wisely dealt with the medical factors involved in determining the proper time for the bris. He listened carefully to the factors, evaluated, and advised us what to do. Rabbi Feldstein was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and calming throughout the process. At a checkup following the bris, the pediatrician commented on the mohel’s job well done.
Effie and Rena Richmond

We are so glad that Rabbi Feldstein performed the bris on our son. He explained everything so clearly, from the kibbudim to the bris itself, as well as the care after the bris. He made us feel completely comfortable to ask any questions big or small, and he took care of our baby with such gentleness and care. We are so grateful!
Avi and Shaindy Mintz
Pikesville, MD
My wife and I could not have been happier with Rabbi Feldstein's mohel services. Our baby ended up needing a more complicated bris mila. Rabbi Feldstein took so much of his time to consult with our doctor and reassure us throughout the process. Our pediatrician was also impressed by his expertise and skill. He made himself available to us afterwards as well for any questions. It was clear that Rabbi Feldstein truly cares.
Shlomo Nazarian
Baltimore, MD
Rabbi Feldstein really impressed us. Not only did he do a great job with our son’s bris, but he made the whole experience smooth and pleasant.
To ensure the baby would be ready for the bris, Rabbi Feldstein volunteered to drive an hour to come check the baby where we were despite his busy schedule (two brissim that morning) because he understood that it would be difficult for us to travel with a newborn. He arrived with a smile and everything we could possibly need for the bris. He even offered to bring a special outfit for the day of the bris! Rabbi Feldstein is extremely organized and gave us very clear, typed-out instructions for every step of the way. We could tell we were in good hands. To top it all off, at the bris, we had many nonreligious guests and Rabbi Feldstein immediately adapted to the audience and gave great explanations for each part of the bris to keep everyone involved and give the guests a good understanding of what was going on. We’re very happy with our mohel.
Thank you Rabbi Feldstein!

The most caring mohel!
We had an excellent experience with Rabbi Ari Feldstein and strongly recommend him as a wonderful mohel. Rabbi Feldstein is very knowledgeable in all areas related to a bris, and is also extremely knowledgeable in newborn care. He spent time answering our questions and working out bris details with us. He was very efficient and delicate during the actual bris and he followed up several times to ensure that our baby healed properly (our son healed very quickly!). He was so calming to us parents throughout the entire process and made the entire occasion a most pleasant one. Our pediatrician was also very impressed with his work. We are so glad he was available and willing to travel out to our community for our son's bris. You couldn't ask for more in a mohel for your son.

Rabbi Feldstein was exceptionally knowledgeable, clear, and sensitive when meeting with us before our first son's bris. He provided us with information about the various kibbudim, what to know about after care, and everything in between! The bris ran smoothly and following the bris, we were comforted knowing that any questions we had, Rabbi Feldstein would be available and ready to come to our home to address any concerns.

We had a fantastic experience as first-time parents using Rabbi Feldstein as the mohel for our son's bris. Whether before, during, or after, he was there for us and guided us through the whole process with warmth and expertise.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience using Rabbi Ari Feldstein as our son's mohel. His knowledge and experience, combined with his caIm and collected demeanor made us feel at ease. His caring nature made him feel like part of our family and truly enhanced our simcha. I would definitely recommend using Rabbi Feldstein for your son's bris.
Neil Musman

Rabbi Feldstein is not only extremely proficient as a mohel, he is caring, patient, and accessible, going above and beyond to make sure the parents (and baby!) are comfortable from start to finish. We had a fantastic experience and would definitely use Rabbi Feldstein again.
Eli Kravitz

Having 5 boys = 5 Bris Milas. As it turns out, we used 5 different Mohels- two in NY/NJ, one in CA, two in MD. I can confidently say that mine and my wife's review is worth a bit more (unless the next review used 6 Mohels!)
Our favorite 2 mohels were...one in NY who was actually nationally renown and had over 50 years of experience. The other...Rabbi Feldstein. Yes! The much younger Rabbi Feldstein compared, to the renowned well-seasoned mohel and, in certain ways, surpassed him!
Rabbi Feldstein was extremely thorough. Besides providing a handsome outfit and bris pillow, he even supplied all the follow up medical supplies we needed for the weeks after the bris! We didn't not even set foot into CVS/Walgreens as we had to in the past. We were able to focus solely on our family and new addition.
He gave proper attention to detail in explaining the aftercare process to us. It was clear from the moment we met him until his final checkup visit just how much he cares. He even drove 50 minutes to our house, checked the baby for 5 minutes, then drove back home 50 minutes!
Even more impressive was a week after our bris which largely consisted of Orthodox Jews, I witnessed him perform at a bris with a mixed crowd- non-religious, conservative, and reform Jews present. He explained everything clearly and with good humor that kept the guests engaged in this special mitzvah.
We've had our fair share of circumcisions, and at this point are ready for a little princess, but after experiencing how easy, professional, and enjoyable it was to work with Rabbi Feldstein, we would be "okay" with another boy (🤫 hope my wife doesn't read this😬.)

Rabbi Ari Feldstein was such a pleasure to have in our home to perform our son’s circumcision. It was so much more of a relief seeing it done (and done really well with the utmost care) than to send our baby off blindly in the hospital. He made it an enjoyable and educational experience, which gave us confidence in our decision. We highly recommend choosing Rabbi Ari to come to your home for your sons circumcision.
Meagan Rose
Burke, VA
Rabbi Feldstein is wonderful. He has a very calming presence and explained what he was doing as he did it. Our son calmed down in his mother’s arm within 1-2 minutes after the 8-10 second procedure. We are very grateful for being able to do this in the comfort of our home. If you are circumcising your son, we highly recommend Rabbi Feldstein’s services over having it done at the hospital.
Matthew Nelson
Prince Frederick, MD
When it came down to circumcising our son, Rabbi Feldstein was a g-d send. He is kind, knowledgeable and highly experienced in what he does. The bris was beautiful and he walked us through the whole process from beginning to end. Everything was beautifully executed and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He also is very responsive and if we had any questions throughout the process he was easily accessible.
Oshrat Williams
Montgomery Village, MD
We cannot thank Ari enough for performing a gentle and beautiful circumcision for our newborn son in our home. It was important to us that we knew a skilled professional would carefully and gently perform the procedure - and he did just that! His support in explaining the process also made us very comfortable. The procedure was incredibly fast and our baby boy is healing quickly. We’re grateful for Ari’s expertise and for checking in with us during the healing process! We highly recommend to any family - especially those looking for expertise in a home setting.
Jenna Knight
Newark, MD
Rabbi Ari was fantastic - if your son was not circumcised at the hospital, or youre looking for other options ahead of time, this is the man you need to see. The process takes seconds, we were able to be with our son the whole time, and it was much less painful/stressful than what they did at the hospital for our firstborn. Our son was transferred quickly at birth due to some complications and we weren't able to get him circumcised (though, now I see this as a good thing). I only wish we knew Rabbi Ari sooner. We are very grateful for his expertise.
Brady G

When my wife and I were looking to find someone to perform our son’s bris, we heard only good things about Rabbi Feldstein. Not only did he come to our home to explain the procedure and check on our son, he also answered all of our questions in a patient and warm manner. He made sure that we understood everything that we needed to do for our son to have a quick and easy recovery. Additionally, Rabbi Feldstein gave us all the time we needed and he followed up with us multiple times afterwards to see how our son was recovering. After using Rabbi Feldstein, my wife and I both said that we wouldn’t use anyone else in the future and we highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a mohel.
Reuven Blum
Silver Spring, MD
Rabbi Feldstein was the best choice for us. We were so grateful for his calmness throughout the whole process. He explained everything that was going on so that we can understand easily, and made sure to check up on our son to see that everything was healing smoothly. When looking for a mohel it’s important to look for someone that’s thoughtful, neat, kind and very on top of things. This was exactly our experience with Rabbi Feldstein and we couldn’t recommend him more!!
Chana Kirschenbaum

Rabbi Feldstein blends his professionalism and expertise together with his calm and gentle demeanor to walk you through the entire process. His detailed instructions and availability will make you feel confidant to care for your son following the bris. Several guests commented about how impressed they were with how Rabbi Feldstein conducted the ceremony so seamlessly. We were extremely pleased and would highly recommend Rabbi Feldstein!
Ilana Efron
Baltimore, MD
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! Would give 10 stars if I could. Wouldn’t change a thing! So quick (only 7-8 seconds) and easy! He answered all questions and walked us through the entire process. He explained everything he was doing as he was doing it. I was able to comfort my son during and right after which was amazing! He brought a teddy bear for him and supplied everything for the after care process. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. I couldn’t be more satisfied and at ease!
Amaya Murray
Perryville, MD
We had a smooth and pleasant experience using Rabbi Feldstein as our sons's Rabbi Ari Feldstein is an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable mohel. His thoughtfulness was evident throughout the entire process. He patiently explained everything, brought “everything besides the baby” - including a beautiful Bris outfit for the baby, pillow, after care supplies, and even cards with the proper blessings for the guests to follow along. We were so thankful for the follow up visits, care and concern, accessibility and ultimately a seamless process! Highly recommend.
Max Singer
Pikesville, MD
We couldn't be happier with Rabbi Feldstein for my child's bris. As a first-time mother, a bris can be an overwhelming and stressful experience. Rabbi Feldstein did an incredible job of explaining what is happening at each step and providing detailed instructions for both before and after the bris. Both me and my husband really appreciated how caring and calm Rabbi Feldstein was. He showed a mastery of the process and was really knowledgable to answer any and all of my questions! We would definitely use Rabbi Feldstein again for future brissim and would recommend him to anyone that is looking for a knowledgeable and caring mohel. 5 stars!
Sarit Perlman

Rabbi was amazing and the procedure was done in less than 8 seconds. Baby was in mamas arms in a minute. We have had our other 3 boys circumcised in the hospital and at a birth center. All of those other procedures were a bit traumatizing and seemed to be more painful and definitely took longer than from Rabbi Ari. I highly recommend.
Forest Hill, MD
Silver Spring, MD
Ari Feldstein is amazing! My husband and I were searching for someone credible to circumcise our son. I called my obgyn and was told another patient just left raving about Rabbi Feldstein. I called him right away and he called back within a matter of minutes. We scheduled him to come out to our home the following week. He was on time and the procedure took a matter of seconds. He is very kind, professional and prompt. He patiently explained everything from the procedure process to after care very thoroughly. He left us with everything we will need for the recovery and healing process. He even calls to follow up after a few days and two weeks as well. I am so thankful we were able to find him and I highly recommend everyone give him a call!!
Stephanie Cook
Laurel, MD
Rabbi Feldstein was great to work with! He’s kind, caring, attentive…and most importantly, he did a fantastic job with our newborn son. Should you be in the Baltimore area, DMV region - or beyond - I highly recommend Rabbi Feldstein as an expert mohel you can trust!
Anna Whitlock

Ari provides a wonderful service in the sanctity of your very own home. He was kind, caring, and informative, highly professional throughout the procedure. He threw in just the right amount of tactful humor to ease our minds and nerves about the decision we had made. Best of all, he is highly skilled, was gentle with our son, and incredibly fast. The actual circumcision took eight seconds by my count, which he asks you to do while you watch or wait in the wings. Can’t say enough positive things about Ari and the experience we had. If you’re considering having this done, definitely consider having it done at home and by Ari. He cares for people, and about the service he provides, and it shows every step of the way. Highly recommend.
Caitlin Townsend

If anyone is looking for mohel that is patient and professional then I would definitely recommend him. He made it very pleasant for me and my wife and we are very happy we chose him. He was so nice and patient with us no matter how many questions we had!
Yitzchak Teller

Wow, this rabbi is good!
Rabbi Ari came very highly recommended and although we had used other mohels previously we knew right away that this was the best choice. He made everything so smooth and stress-free and we knew the whole time that our dear baby was getting the absolute best medical care. He was so professional and caring and made it a very positive experience for us. Now I recommend him all the time and I wouldn't use anyone else!
Mark Moskowitz

Rabbi Feldstein did a wonderful Bris for our son. Both my wife and I were nervous, as I believe many couples are, but Rabbi Feldstein did a went over the entire process from our initial call to the day of the Bris. Rabbi Feldstein performed a beautiful ceremony and incorporated our roles for our family to partake. Rabbi Feldstein added a little humor during the ceremony that we greatly appreciated and helped calmed us. After the Bris, Rabbi Feldstein attended to our son to make sure he was doing great and even changed the first couple of diapers for us. One of the most important aspects of the Bris from a medical perspective is cleanliness. We felt very confident in Rabbi Feldstein’s process, and he provided us with all necessary supplies. After the Bris and over the next week, Rabbi Feldstein reached out to us to check on how our son was doing showing us how much he cared. Would recommend Rabbi Feldstein to anyone looking for a mohel. Truly did a wonderful job and could not ask for anyone better.
Kevin Allex

We have used Rabbi Feldstein as the mohel for our two sons and we could not have been more pleased. Rabbi Feldstein came to our house to check on the baby before the bris and came again to our house after. He explained each part of the process in a way that was clear to understand. His knowledge and expertise is obvious! He handles the baby with such care and gentleness. He also makes himself available for questions at any time and answered all my questions with respect and patience. He even gives you all the supplies necessary for post-bris care! We definitely recommend Rabbi Feldstein for anyone looking for an expert to give their son a bris or circumcision.

Rabbi Feldstein has been a blessing to our family. We were so blessed to be able to celebrate our twin boy’s bris. Rabbi did an excellent job communicating with us, leading the ceremony, and performing the circumcision. Thanks to him, we were able to celebrate a monumental moment with our families. Also, he provided great levity with his humor as well! We are looking forward to potential future blessings and bris ceremonies with Rabbi Feldstein. Thank you!!
