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]
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]
Legality of non-therapeutic circumcision of minor boys.
Infant circumcision has no medical indication and does not treat or prevent disease and is irreversible. It is considered to be a violation of a boy's human rights under international law.
Infant boys are unable to grant consent for amputation of a functional body part.
