When I saw this post on the flist, I was sure that you were going to be reporting on this article on Salon. The summary: "When our son was born, my wife decided circumcision was barbaric, but my parents insisted it was an essential Jewish tradition. Behold the sad tale of how one foreskin tore a family apart."

Cue 41 pages and counting of letters wank over circumcision, Judaism, meddling mothers and neurotic sons, etc., etc.

Must be the week for it!
