Changes

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 peaceful, non-cutting naming ceremony usually called [[Brit Shalom]] instead of the traditional [[Brit Milah]].Goodman (1999) has called for an end to ritual cutting.{{REFjournal |last=Goodman |first= |author-link= |last2= |first2= |author2-link= |last3= |first3= |author3-link= |last4= |first4= |author4-link= |last5= |first5= |author5-link= |last6= |first6= |author6-link= |last7= |first7= |author7-link= |last8= |first8= |author8-link= |last9= |first9= |author9-link= |etal=yes |title=Jewish circumcision: an alternative perspective |trans-title= |language= |journal=BJU Int |location= |date=1999-01 |volume=83 Suppl 1 |issue= |pages= |url=https://bjui-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1464-410x.1999.0830s1022.x |archived= |quote= |pubmedID= |pubmedCID= |DOI= |accessdate=2020-04-08}}
