Rabbi Davidowitz has been labeled The Gentle Mohel as a reflection of the considerable
effort he devotes to pain reduction of the child. His gentle approach lies in stark contrast
to hospital-based circumcision as well as the practice of many other mohelim. Rabbi
Davidowitz does not use a clamp of any kind. Additionally, he uses the latest bandaging
technique, allowing him to remove the bandage almost immediately after the circumcision.
Most incredibly, Rabbi Davidowitz can typically complete the entire circumcision, from the
moment one of his carefully selected, ultra-gentle instruments comes in contact with the
baby, until the time the diaper is back on and more importantly the baby has stopped
crying, in 60 seconds or less!Click the arrow to read more about the Gentle Approach -
Unfortunately, many circumcisions are performed without enough emphasis on pain minimization for the
child. This is evident to anyone who has been witness to the 15 – 30 minute ordeal a child endures in a
hospital-setting circumcision. Such procedures entail the child being strapped down to a hard plastic
circ-board while receiving a nerve block injection and subject to the use of heavy instrumentation including
clamps. Similarly, many mohelim use some form of clamp. These clamps significantly extend the time of the
Bris procedure and cause severe discomfort to the child.
In contrast, Rabbi Davidowitz completes the entire Bris procedure in a fraction of that time, typically a
minute or less (That’s less cry-time then the average visit to the pediatrician)! Rabbi Davidowitz uses a
mogen shield, not to be confused with the mogen clamp. This shield has been used for centuries, does
not cause significant pain and is the best protection from any damage to proximate tissue. A topical
anesthetic cream may also be used as studies have demonstrated it may provide additional reduction
of pain. In addition, Rabbi Davidowitz utilizes an innovative mineral based bandage that boosts the body’s
own clotting mechanisms allowing for easy removal immediately following the circumcision, significantly
reducing another cause of discomfort to the baby.
There are many options available to parents seeking a bris or circumcision for their son. Not all methods and
mohels were created equally. Choose carefully and wisely. The casual observer may not recognize the
difference… but your son certainly will! -

The bris for our son fell on one of the most stressful days on the Jewish calendar - erev Pesach.
Rabbi Davidowitz was calm, patient, and professional, (even when I made him wait while I nursed
the baby)! Later that evening, he stopped by our home to check on the baby before the Seder began.
Even our family commented on how attentive he was. We highly recommend Rabbi Davidowitz!Sarah & Ari MillerHappy ParentsTestimonials -

It was such a pleasure to have you perform the bris of our
precious son. We have several older boys and you were the
best mohel we ever had! Your attentive care, warm nature,
and the way you treated our son with love was quite
evident and enhanced the celebration for our entire family.
Thank you!Marcie & Jaison Guterman -
We have four sons and Rabbi Davidowitz was the mohel
for our youngest three. He was very professional and
easy to work with. He always showed up prepared and
organized and made the whole experience a very special
one. He's extremely gentle and patient. We definitely
recommend ONLY him! CaptionDana & Nimi Gal
