Hayim Leiter is a rabbi and a mohel from Melrose Park, Pennsylvania[1], now living in Jerusalem, Israel, who names himself an "activist". He founded Magen HaBrit, an organization committed to protecting both "our sacred ceremony" of Brit Milah and the children who undergo it. He made Aliyah[2] in 2009 and lives in Jerusalem with his wife and children.

On his blog on The Times of Israel, he not only promotes MGM being a mohel, but complains about intactivists who complain about MGM on social media. Please note that The Times of Israel don't see themselves responsible for content published on blogs on their website.

Ignoring Corona crisis

During the 2020 Corona crisis, this mohel proudly announced that he still proceeds Brit Milah circumcision, praising himself for the claimed fact that experienced mohels like him can perform circumcision in just 1-2 minutes, so that the child suffers less. The tragic irony of the clear fact that a circumcision alone harms the child, plus the Corona risks, show that circumfetishists like him are really convinced they do something good to the child.[3]
