For parents in Cherry Hill and the surrounding South Jersey area, finding a mohel who combines precision, professionalism, and warmth can make the bris experience far smoother. I serve families in Cherry Hill, Marlton, Voorhees, Haddonfield, Mount Laurel, and nearby communities, as well as across the Philadelphia metro area. My goal is to provide a meaningful, safe, and well-organized bris that respects tradition while keeping your baby’s comfort a top priority.
Whether your son’s bris will take place in your home, in a synagogue, or at another venue, I handle every detail from setup to aftercare instructions. Before the bris, I walk parents through timing, space requirements, and special requests—whether that’s honoring family members with specific roles, accommodating medical needs, or involving older siblings in a meaningful way.
In Cherry Hill and surrounding towns, I’m often working with families who have relatives traveling in from other states. I coordinate timing and logistics so the ceremony fits everyone’s schedule while still fulfilling the halachic requirements. My experience spans hundreds of brissim in both intimate family settings and large communal gatherings, so I can adapt to whatever setting you choose.
For more about my background, visit the main page of RabbiMohel.com. If you’d like a clear walk-through of the bris process, see What to Expect. Many common questions—about preparation, healing, anesthesia, or even photography—are answered in the FAQ. The Gallery offers a look at ceremonies I’ve performed, giving you a sense of how the event can be both dignified and celebratory.

If you’d like to confirm my availability or discuss your family’s plans, please contact me. I look forward to serving you with professionalism, warmth, and respect for tradition—whether in Cherry Hill, elsewhere in NJ, or beyond.

Personal care for your baby’s bris or circumcision with Rabbi Shlomo Golish, Certified Mohel.
Serving Cherry Hill and South Jersey
Dr. Gildener-Leapman, MD
ENT Surgeon
"Rabbi Golish was very professional, very concerned about details and the baby’s needs. He stayed in contact until we confirmed that the baby was completely healed. As a surgeon myself, I noted he was organized, efficient, and capable during the bris. He was friendly and approachable. I can recommend him as a Mohel without reservation."
Dr. Martin Dauber, MD
Anesthesiologist
"Rabbi Golish performed the brissim for two of my grandsons, and I was thoroughly impressed by his exceptional skill and professionalism. As a physician, I deeply appreciated his meticulous technique, steady hand, and evident expertise throughout the procedure....Rabbi Golish exemplifies the highest standards of both technical proficiency and personal integrity—he is truly outstanding in his field."
Dr. Brian Sacks, DO
Neurologist
"Rabbi Golish provided excellent care to our child and really made me and my family feel comfortable answering all of our questions during the bris. He explained all of the religious aspects of the ceremony, provided detailed instructions for the circumcision healing, and even checked in the next several days to make sure the recovery was going well. If we have another son I will definitely be asking Rabbi Golish to perform the bris again."

Cherry Hill, New Jersey Bris Timing Chart (2026–2027 / 5787):
This chart is meant as an approximate guide to determine the timing of a Bris. For more info about a Shabbos Bris, see this article.
These times show Friday Shkiah (sunset) for Cherry Hill, New Jersey. If your baby is born close to these times, please contact me or your Rabbi to confirm the correct halachic day of birth.
Non-Friday births:
Before Shkiah (sunset) → that day counts as Day 1. The Bris will be the following week, the same day.
After Shkiah (sunset) → the next day becomes Day 1. The Bris will be the following week, the next day.
Friday births:
Before Shkiah (sunset) → Bris is the next Friday.
After Shkiah (sunset) → If the birth was after Tzeis (3 Stars), which depends on local custom, the Bris will be the following Shabbos.
If the birth happened in between Shkiah (sunset) and Tzeis (3 stars), the birth is considered a safek (questionable) whether the birth was on Friday or Shabbos. Hence the Bris cannot be on Friday, because it may be day 7 (if the birth was Shabbos), and it also cannot be on Shabbos, because a Bris can only be on Shabbos if it is day 8, and Shabbos may be day 9 (if the birth was Friday).
Friday Shkiya (sunset) and selected holiday eves for Cherry Hill, New Jersey. All times are local PM times from the supplied MyZmanim 5787 Cherry Hill calendar; weekly Torah readings refer to the following Shabbos.
