Belonging

In this episode, Eli is joined by Bruchim’s President, Lisa Braver Moss. Lisa discusses her regret after circumcising her two boys, and how this catalyzed a lifetime of activism about Jewish circumcision. She also reflects on writing a novel about circumcision and a book of ceremonies for alternative baby welcoming ceremonies, also called brit shalom. Plus, Eli and Lisa think together about what it’s like to be a Jew in the Genital Autonomy Movement, and how to be an effective activist on sensitive topics.
