The Measure of His Grief: Difference between revisions

The son of Holocaust survivors, Sandy cannot turn his back on his heritage; he must find a way to reconcile his anti-circumcision stand with his Jewish identity. But the more Sandy learns, the more startled he is by what he finds: the [[foreskin|tissue]] lost to [[circumcision]] is highly erogenous; circumcisions as practiced today are far more radical than they were in Biblical times; and around the world, tens of thousands of men are currently engaged in the astonishing, but under-reported, enterprise of foreskin "[[restoration]]".
