Information About Brit Shalom
Brit Shalom is a flyer published by Jews Against Circumcision which addresses the cultural and religious issues around the ceremony of Brit Milah, and presents Brit Shalom as an alternative. It discusses how to preserve Jewish identity without circumcision.
Brit Milah describes the ceremony and its counterpart, Brit Shalom. It is written in Hebrew.
Brit Shalom (Brit B'lee Milah) is a ceremony text for a "peaceful introduction into the Covenant."
Brit Shalom: Covenant of Wholeness is another ceremony text.
A Non-Traditional "Circumcision" Ceremony, published in Mothering magazine, describes how Jewish parents inducted their son into the Jewish faith without circumcision.
The Alternative Bris Support Group provides information and support to Jewish parents who question circumcision. An information packet that addresses the Jewish issues associated with circumcision is available.
