Pine Asked 2 years ago

Hello Rabbi and happy holidays,
If a case is drawn that there is a dispute between two parents regarding a circumcision for a baby. Legally and / or morally, should a party who wants a circumcision be allowed to perform it? Or should the situation be put on hold and let the child choose when he grows up?
Best regards,

It depends on what the agreements were between the couple from the beginning (when they got married). If there is no clear consent and it can not be deduced from a prison (e.g. the prevailing custom in their environment) etc., then it seems to me that morally one should let the baby choose when he grows up.

Moral from a religious rule no?

And if there is a clash between religious and moral here, will you exercise territorial considerations and prefer moral? (Actually, why not use these in general towards the baby? For example in places where the law or society does not approve of a word)

mikyab Staff Responded 2 years ago

Religious certainly not. And that the mother's objection expropriates the father's obligation?
I did not understand the question about territory. What is the connection?

"The greater disadvantage of fear of God when it is not beautifully connected to the light of Torah is that instead of fear of sin, it is replaced by fear of thought, and since man begins to be afraid to think, he becomes immersed in the mud of ignorance, which takes the light of his soul. , And thickens his spirit ”(Rabbi Kook, eight files, A. Razz)
—
"And therefore it is not proper to keep away anything that opposes his opinion, the love of inquiry and knowledge." Rather, a thing like this is said: Speak as much as you want… because the words of the opponent in religion disappear, it is not (but) only in the void and weakness of religion… because the mind requires that there be no prevention at all Everything… and by this man comes to the content of the truth of things and to stand on the absolute truth, and there is no quarantine for things like these. For every hero who wants to oppose one to show his heroism, he very much desires that he who comes against him will overcome as much as he can, and then, if he defeats [the] hero who comes to overcome against him it seems that the winner is most heroic. ” (Beer Hagola, Beer Shiva, the Maharal from Prague).
