Periah (also spelled as priah) is a Hebrew word (Hebrew: פריעה) that means uncovering.[1] Periah is the name given to the second part of the Jewish ritual circumcision procedure.
Description
Jewish ritual circumcision is carried out by a specially trained religious official called a mohel. The inner foreskin of an infant boy is fused with the underlying glans penis by a synechia. James Peron (2000) reported:
Periah consists of tearing and stripping back the remaining inner mucosal lining of the foreskin from the glans and then, by use of a sharp finger nail or implement, removing all of the inner mucosal tissue, including the excising and removal of the frenulum from the underside of the glans. The objective was to insure that no part of the remaining penile skin would rest against the glans corona. If any shreds of the mucosal foreskin tissue remained, or rejoined to the underside of the glans, the child was to be re-circumcised.[2]
(The following text or part of it is quoted from the free Wikipedia article Uncovering, priah
:)
The main goal of "priah" (also known as "bris periah"), is to remove as much of the inner layer of the foreskin as possible and prevent the movement of the shaft skin, what creates the look and function of what is known as a "low and tight" circumcision.[3]
According to Rabbinic interpretation of traditional Jewish sources,[4] the 'priah' has been performed as part of the Jewish circumcision since the Israelites first inhabited the Land of Israel.[5]

Quote:the rabbis go on to dedicate all of chapter 19 to circumcision .. milah, peri'ah, and metsitsah. This is the first text specifying peri'ah as an absolute requirement. The same chapter is where we first find mention of the warning that leaving even "shreds" of foreskin renders the procedure "invalid."
Note: Section 19.2 from Moed tractate Shabbat (Talmud) is quoted. - ↑ Rabbah b. Isaac in the name of Rab:

Quote:The commandment of uncovering the corona at circumcision was not given to Abraham; for it is said, At that time the Lord said unto Joshua: 'Make thee knives of flint etc.' But is it not possible [that this applied to] those who were not previously circumcised; for it is written, For all the people that came out were circumcised, but all the people that were born etc.? — If so, why the expression. 'Again!' Consequently it must apply to the uncovering of the corona.
