We invite you to contact and involve our rabbis for a brit milah (circumcision). We also encourage you to use Adas Israel as the site of your brit milah (circumcision) followed by a reception.

We are also proud to have a Mohelet as a member of Adas Israel--Dr. April Rubin (https://www.dcmohel.com/).
