The interviewer there, Tony Doku-Pil, I'm just going to call him.

Count Dukupil.

He wrote an article called My Adult Circumcision, How I Made the Cut for My New Religion.

This came out in 2014.

To remain uncut, I was told, is to remain spiritually cut off from the Jewish people.

Oh, wow.

I was engaged to a nice Jewish girl, taking some free conversion classes at the big

progressive Manhattan synagogue.

This wasn't a fur coat and summer kind of congregation.

It was part of the reform movement.

Only game for high holidays, mostly casual about pork, always down with female gay rabbis.

When one of my own rabbis, in parenthetical, gay, female.

Oh, but they still made you cut part of your dick off?

Yes.

Slip me the number of a moyle.

A professional snipper, I laughed it off as a classic Jewish humor.

I love that.

He's just like, is that one of them Jew jokes?

You're doing one of them jokes, you people do.

While bloodletting has always been a condition of the Orthodox and conservative wings of Judaism,

reform congregations have been willing to welcome the sexually sheathed and uninjured.

Biblical law does not require otherwise neither
