Pittsburgh, PA - [[Mordechai RosembergRosenberg]], a local rabbi is being sued after allegedly botching a bris, the traditional Jewish circumcision ritual, and severing a newborn boy's penis.
The incident detailed in the lawsuit happened at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill within the last yearin 2013.
The Jewish circumcision ceremony was performed by Pittsburgh Rabbi Mordechai Rosenberg -- who is also a [[mohel]].
"There's virtually no regulation of this any place in the United States that I know of," Llewellyn said. "I think the government probably should require some sort of training if this is going to be done."
Rabbi Rosenberg told KDKA (local radio station in Pittsburgh): "I am trained in this." He also called the case a "tragic accident" and a "horrible situation." But also said he continues to perform circumcisions.Sources close to the case say, while the baby is recovering, there's no way to know if he'll make a complete recovery. The incident happened about eight months agoon 28 April 2013.
