Book Details

Musings of a Mohel is the story of a pediatrician who, at first, was reluctant to obtain certification as a mohel. He has had a superb 30 years bringing newborns and adults into the sacred Covenant of Abraham. At the urging of local clergy, this book details his experiences beginning with a week at the Jewish Theological Seminary. He details many heartwarming experiences “in the field.” Dr. Benyunes also learned a good deal from the many families and individuals he met during this journey. It gave him a fresh perspective on the younger members of the Jewish faith and those seeking to join his peoplehood.
