Jonathan Abraham is a London-based Jewish rabbi and mohel. He is a member of the Initiation Society, which trains mohels to perform ritual circumcision.[1] He is not a registered medical practitioner.[2]
Alleged criminal act
Rabbi Abraham went to Dublin, Ireland where he allegedly performed a circumcision on a non-Jewish infant boy on or about 1 August 2024.[1]
According to the Jewish Chronicle:
Officers saw "a very young child on the changing pad naked” and another child who had already been circumcised.[1]
This is alleged to be a violation of the Medical Practitioners Act (2007), which allows Jewish boys to have a less rigorous standard of safety in circumcision surgical amputation than other boys.[1]
Abraham has posted €60,000 bail and is now allowed to return to his home in London while awaiting his trial in Dublin.[2]
Irish precedent
In 2015, a father-of-six, Philip Ogbewe, from Nigeria but living in Ireland 20 years and residing at Green Lanes, Drogheda, Co Louth, used a blade on the infant during a crude cultural circumcision. Ogbewe pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment of life by performing the circumcision on the baby which led to serious haemorrhaging which created a substantial risk of death or serious harm, at the infant’s home in a midlands town on December 4th, 2015.[3]
