H. Leon Pachter, MD
Dear Parents: As Chair of the NYU School of Medicine Department of Surgery, I am happy to recommend Rabbi Moshe Chaim Friedman as a Mohel to perform Ritual Circumcisions. I have seen him demonstrate utmost professionalism in his surgical skills, and I am impressed with his technical abilities, and overall expertise. As a surgeon, I… am always concerned to see that the Bris is conducted not only in a professional manner but also using aseptic technique. I am happy to say that Rabbi Friedman adheres to these guidelines and is truly an expert in the field of circumcision. As a parent, you can be confident that your child is in most caring and capable hands.

When a Jewish couple is blessed with a newborn son one of the first important decisions they need to make is the selection of a Mohel to perform their son’s Bris. Parents should seek out a Mohel that is caring and technically skilled. Rabbi Moshe Chaim Friedman is such a person. I have known Rabbi… Friedman for over 10 years. During the past decade I have had the opportunity to witness this “Master” Mohel in action. From the moment he is called by new parents, to the preparation for the ceremony, performing the Bris itself and the post bris follow up, his attention to detail and his caring manner are second to none. Rabbi Friedman is unique in his ability to reach out to everyone present at the Bris. If you have ever attended a Bris ceremony performed by Rabbi Friedman you will never forget the experience. As a Pediatric Urologist I appreciate his use of sterile technique. The circumcision is performed accurately with almost no discomfort for the baby. Rabbi Friedman takes pride in explaining everything about the circumcision to the parents and always follows up with them to make sure they are comfortable with the post-Bris aftercare. It is without hesitation that I recommend Rabbi Moshe Chaim Friedman to perform your son ‘s Bris. Read more “Jeffrey A. Stock, MD”

Words from Happy Parents

Rabbi Friedman was nothing short of masterful when it came to our son’s bris. He showed incredible knowledge of the process, from a medical and logistical perspective, and took the time to clearly and simply walk us through all of it, without freaking us out or burdening in us with too much information. Just as skillful as he was with the actual procedure, he showed a tremendous amount of emotional intelligence around the whole event itself. What might have ordinarily been a high anxiety scenario was lightened with excellent humor, positive attitude, smiles, confidence, tradition, and an overall understanding of how to read a room. I feel tremendous amount of serendipity knowing that we were able to work with him on this very special moment. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to any of my closest friends and family.

Rabbi Friedman was incredible for our son’s Bris, we can’t recommend him enough. He not only was incredibly masterful in the procedure, but conducted the bris with the right mix of solemness for the occasion and levity, which was helpful for these nervous first-time parents. The ceremony and explanations were very helpful and engaging and he walked us through care multiple times and followed up with us well after to remind us what we should be doing. Our son seems to be healing well and we’re so happy we entrusted Rabbi Friedman to perform our son’s Bris.

I heard about Rabbi Friedman from a friend and I called him as soon as I found out I was having a boy. I was not disappointed. He is an amazing mohel and he also lent me his time to address my concerns pertaining to the sterility of a jewish kosher circumcision.
Rabbi Friedman, did an outstanding job, he was sterile, quick and thorough in his examination. I would recommend him to anyone.
Daniel R.
He performed my son’s bris and did a flawless job. I am a pediatrician who strives every day to provide my patients with the best medical care and I wanted the same for my son. I was very pleased with Rabbi Friedman’s attention to detail during the procedure and his easy to follow and evidence based aftercare instructions. Plus, he officiated the ceremony in a humorous way that kept our guests entertained.
