Religious circumcision by a [[mohel]] using a [[mogen clamp]]clamp. The circumcision occurs between 4:50 and 6:20. It shows the breaking of adhesions while the baby sucks on wine, followed by the installation of the [[mogen ]] clamp and [[excision]] of the [[foreskin]].
At 6:00 the [[mohel ]] performs [[metzitza metzitzah b'peh]] by splashing a liquid (presumably wine) on the genitals of the baby, sucking one time with his mouth and spitting it out on the glass.
The [[mohel ]] then instructs people to sing stronger, so that the cries of the baby are muted. I'm particularly surprised by a sound (ululululululu) which I have also heard in videos of African ceremonies, and in a video of an [[Muslim girl mutilated by Egyptian barber]] (at 0:21). I wonder if this sound has accompanied the genital cutting rituals of tribal peoples for millennia and points to a common origin.
