'''The Measure of His Grief''' is a novel by [[Lisa Braver Moss]], published in 2010. It was the first novel ever to explore [[Brit Milah|Jewish circumcision]].
==Abstract==
The novel weaves medical and religious information into the compelling story of Dr. Sandy Waldman, a Jewish physician in Berkeley who finds himself waging a campaign against the one [[Brit Milah|Jewish tradition]] that’s still observed even in the most iconoclastic of towns and among the most assimilated of Jews: [[circumcision]].
The son of Holocaust survivors, Sandy cannot turn his back on his heritage; he must find a way to reconcile his anti-circumcision stand with his Jewish identity. But the more Sandy learns, the more startled he is by what he finds: the [[foreskin|tissue]] lost to [[circumcision]] is highly erogenous; circumcisions as practiced today are far more radical than they were in Biblical times; and around the world, tens of thousands of men are currently engaged in the astonishing, but under-reported, enterprise of foreskin "[[restoration]]".
