Question
Hi
How much do people usually give a mohel for preforming a bris?
I'm 28, Conservative and my husband and I are pregnant with our first child.
Thank you.
Liz
Dear Liz,
Mazal Tov. As we say in Hebrew "b'sha-ah tovah," may everything happen in its proper time and fashion.
Fees are generally discussed right up front - a service for a fee, although if and when a family is unable to afford the customary fee, any mohel I have known will always make adjustments.
If you are uncertain, ask your physician or the New York Board of Rabbis who can be contacted on line.
Enjoy your baby, your family and may you and your family enjoy years of joy in a world at peace.
Rabbi Dov
