Minor editing.
Many have wondered why God would create men with a [[foreskin]] with documented protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| physiological functions]] only to require that it be cut off after eight days of life.
Some contemporary Jewish parents feel that [[circumcision]] is a painful amputation that inflicts pain, physical, [[Sexual effects of circumcision| sexual]], and [[Psychological issues of male circumcision| psychological]] harm to a child. They wish to protect a son from such harm and so have adopted a non-cutting naming peaceful naming ceremony usually called [[Brit Shalom]] instead of the traditional [[Brit Milah]].
