Mazel Tov!

A bris is so much more than a surgical procedure, and even more than merely a traditional rite. It is a link in the chain of the Jewish people, dating all the way back to our forefather Abraham who was given the commandment for himself and all future generations to mark their eternal relationship with God through this physical sign of covenant. Naturally, this occasion has always been a most momentous and meaningful one, and continues to be just that for Jews the world over.

So whether you’re hosting a large ceremony for lots of friends or a small, intimate gathering for close family, Rabbi Feldstein makes sure the bris experience is one you will remember warmly.

He is there at every step of the way, beginning with an initial consultation with the parents to assess the baby’s health and readiness for the bris according to Torah law. When necessary, he discusses the matter with the family pediatrician to affirm the baby’s wellbeing. He explains everything that the parents should expect and answers any questions they may have, and continues to do so throughout the entire process.

The circumcision itself is performed rapidly and professionally, in utmost sterility and without any painful clamps or forceps. Attendees of the ceremony are often amazed by the minimal amount of crying to be heard. Where appropriate, explanation accompanies the event and imbues it with meaning for all in attendance. Family and friends are frequently involved in the ceremony, and Rabbi Feldstein’s guidance ensures that everyone feels comfortable and knows exactly what to do.

Following the bris Rabbi Feldstein provides clear aftercare instructions for the coming days. Once again, parents are made completely aware of what to expect during the short healing time, and Rabbi Feldstein remains always available by phone for any follow-up questions.

It’s no wonder that the families Rabbi Feldstein serves consistently describe their bris experience – whether their first or their fifth – as being truly magnificent.

 

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.
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.
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!
