Mohel
From BME Encyclopedia
A mohel (pronounced MOY-el or MO-el) is the person who performs the ritual circumcision of eight-day-old boys in the Jewish faith. The circumcision ceremony, refered to as the brit milah, signifies a male who is entering into the Jewish covenant with G-d as proscribed in the bible.
Mohels must go through training, and are usually accredited by a governing body, which in the United States is the National Organization of American Mohalim.
