The Philadelphia Certified Mohel - Rabbi Fromowitz

Congratulations on the new addition to your family!


Yehoshua Fromowitz is a Certified Mohel who practices in the Greater Philadelphia area, and also has an office in Las Vegas, Nevada. He has had the honor and privilege to be involved in Brit Milah for more than 10 years, and has practiced Britot in Israel, and the United States, for Jews (and non-Jews) of all affiliations and backgrounds. He can also officiate as a Rabbi at the ceremony that accompanies the brit. The bris service includes Rabbi Fromowitz offers a home visit before the bris and provides after care check- ups post ceremony.


Brit Milah is the Jewish ritual circumcision of newborn baby boys. It is one of the most fundamental traditions of Judaism, extending back to the time of Abraham. The physical act of Brit Milah creates an everlasting spiritual bond between the new Jewish child and his Creator. Indeed, it links the child to his rich Jewish ancestry and to his Jewish brethren throughout the world. The significance of Brit Milah is profound for both the child and his parents. The Brit Milah is an extremely joyous occasion – it is a time of genuine celebration.


Traditionally the Brit is performed by a Mohel – an expert in both the surgical technique of circumcision and the Jewish laws pertaining to it.
