Hudson County's Most Trusted Mohel
Serving Families Across Hudson County, Union City, Hoboken, Fort Lee, and beyond
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."

One of the highlights of the bris ceremony is the giving of the Hebrew name, a moment that connects your son to generations of heritage. Some families choose to honor a loved one, while others select names for their biblical or historical meaning. Popular choices include Avraham, Shlomo, and Yaakov, while some opt for distinctive names such as Matisyahu, Yedidya, or Zevulun. My Hebrew Boy Names resource offers hundreds of names with meanings, origins, and variations to help inspire your decision.
