- Summary
- In this fascinating photo-essay, Dale Lieberman exposes the myriad of emotions experienced by the witnesses of bris milah, ritual circumcision. The various aspects of the ceremony and its participants are introduced, but even more instructive are the real emotions captured by Lieberman's camera.
- Included in this volume are suites of photographs taken at several bris milah ceremonies. The resulting collection illustrates how bris milah provides an intense religious experience for Jewish parents and community, and it is a strong testament to the underlying unity of the Jewish people.
