|Title=Count actress Alicia Silverstone among those Jews advocating against circumcision.
|Text=I was raised Jewish, so the second my parents found out that they had a male grandchild, they wanted to know when we’d be having a [[Brit Milah|bris ]] (the Jewish circumcision ceremony traditionally performed 8 days after a baby is born),” Silverstone writes. “When I said we weren’t having one, my dad got a bit worked up. But my thinking was: If little boys were supposed to have their penises ‘fixed,’ did that mean we were saying that God made the body imperfect?
