	Mohel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mohel (מוהל also mo'el) is a Jewish ritual circumciser who performs a brit milah ritual circumcision on the penis of a male who is to enter the Jewish covenant.
		In Leviticus: "God spoke to Moses, telling him to speak to the Israelites: When a woman conceives and gives birth to a boy...And on the eighth day, the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised." [2] (Leviticus 12:1-3).
		In modern-day Judaism, circumcision is usually performed by a specially trained mohel, a specialist in circumcisions and the rituals surrounding the procedure.

	Brit milah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A similar view is voiced by the 12th century Jewish scholar Maimonides once argued that one of the purposes of the Brit milah was to reduce sexual behavior and to weaken the sexual bond between man and woman (Guide for the Perplexed part III, chapter 49).
		Some have feared that the practice may spread diseases to the babies from the mohel's mouth (such as herpes), but most mohelim are aware of this and ensure that their mouths are sanitized and washed out by rinsing with alcohol to disinfect the mouth.
		In the case of a Jew who was circumcised outside of a brit milah, or an already-circumcised convert, the mohel draws a symbolic drop of blood from the penis.

		A mohel is responsible for the well being of the baby during and after the surgical procedure.
		The mohel, acting as a psychologist should be diplomatic in his dealings with various emotional issues such as family members who are not in favor of circumcision or a Bris ceremony, divorced grandparents who still harbor animosity to each other, interactions between family members of different faiths, cultural heritage or Jewish affiliations.
		A mohel has to set the stage for the ceremony, making sure that all necessary elements are in place before the ceremony even begins.

	About the Brit Milah, Florida Mohel, History of the Brit Milah, Jewish customs
		Recognizing that the Mohel is a specialist in his field, an overwhelming majority of physicians call Mohalim to perform the Brit Milah ritual circumcision of their own children.
		Should the Mohel live within walking distance of the family, he must drop off his instruments on Friday, prior to sundown, walk to and from the home and accept no payment until Shabbat has ended.
		The general rule is to schedule a Brit immediately upon recovery from a local disorder (one which affects a specific part of the body) but to wait seven 24-hour periods after recovery from a systemic disorder (one which affects the entire body).

	j. - Which one is better doctor or mohel?
		A mohel does not usually use anesthetic, because his anesthetic is the speed with which he does the circumcision.
		The mohel follows this procedure instead of using a "circumstraint" (a tray on which a baby lies naked on his back; the baby is restrained from kicking by strapping his arms and legs down with fabric fastener straps).
		This is, of course, all predicated on the assumption that the mohel is competent.

		Once a Mohel has been appointed to perform a brit, one should not afterwards reject him and hire a second Mohel in his place.
		However, if the second Mohel is a close friend of the family or if he is an exceptionally righteous person, (and it is, therefore, obvious that he would have been chosen in the first place had the family known that he was available), the family may then go ahead and reject its original choice.
		Some hold, however, that if the doctor’s expertise as a Mohel is apart from his being a doctor, then it would be okay.
