Mohel and Bris Services in Manhattan, NY — Rabbi Shlomo Golish

​

In a city that never stops moving, a bris offers a rare pause — a sacred moment where family and tradition take center stage. For families in Manhattan, I provide bris milah and newborn circumcision services that blend halachic precision, advanced medical skill, and a warm, personal approach. With over 15 years of experience, I have helped families from the Upper West Side to the Lower East Side welcome their sons into the Jewish covenant with dignity, care, and joy.

​

Manhattan families often have unique needs — from ceremonies in apartment settings to gatherings in synagogues or event spaces. My goal is to make the process smooth, clear, and free of unnecessary stress. I guide you from the first phone call through scheduling, preparation, and the ceremony itself, ensuring you feel confident every step of the way.

​

Before the bris, I perform a pre-bris evaluation to confirm your baby is ready and to answer any questions. On the day, I bring all the necessary instruments and supplies, creating a calm, respectful atmosphere wherever the bris is held. Afterward, I provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available for follow-up support.

​

One of the most special parts of the bris is giving your son his Hebrew name — the name by which he will be called to the Torah and known in Jewish life. Whether you are honoring a relative, drawing on Biblical inspiration, or choosing for meaning, the naming is highlight of the ceremony. If you’re looking for ideas, my Hebrew Boy Names list includes hundreds of names with meanings to help you find the perfect fit.

​

I serve Jewish families throughout the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown, Lower Manhattan, Washington Heights, and the Lower East Side. Whether you live in a historic neighborhood or a new development, my commitment is the same: precision, compassion, and respect for your family’s traditions.

If you’re in Manhattan and want a mohel who combines halachic integrity, skill, and warmth, I would be honored to help you welcome your son into the Jewish people.
