Looking for newborn circumcision in New Jersey? I’m Rabbi Shlomo Golish, Certified Mohel, serving families arranging an at-home circumcision or a traditional bris milah. Nonreligious circumcision inquiries are welcome. I regularly visit communities across New Jersey, including Newark, Jersey City, Lakewood, Passaic and Teaneck. Whether you prefer a family home, synagogue or another venue, we can discuss your baby’s age, your location, suitability, timing and availability before making arrangements.
I am often in Clifton, Highland Park, Edison, Deal, Cherry Hill, West Orange, Livingston, Bergenfield, Paramus, and Morristown, and I’m happy to travel to surrounding towns and neighborhoods. My familiarity with local communities, synagogues, and event spaces helps make the process smooth and stress-free for families.
A modern Orthodox family and their mohel share a warm moment after the bris in a New Jersey synagogue — traditional yet contemporary and personal.
Before the bris, we will review the timing, setup, and any special considerations you may have — from involving siblings to accommodating relatives traveling from out of town. On the day of the bris, my goal is to create a calm and respectful atmosphere, carrying out the procedure with precision while keeping your baby’s comfort as the highest priority.
For those who are planning their first bris or want to understand the process better, I recommend visiting the main page of RabbiMohel.com for an overview of my background and services. You can also read What to Expect for a detailed walkthrough, check the FAQ for practical answers, and browse the Gallery to see photographs from past ceremonies.
After your baby’s bris or circumcision, I remain available for questions and clear aftercare instructions. I serve families across North, Central and South Jersey.
Vitamin K is not a requirement for circumcision in my practice. If your baby has not received vitamin K, please mention this when arranging an appointment so we can discuss the benefits and your questions.
For traditional bris planning, explore my Baby Names page to find meaningful Hebrew names and variations before your son’s bris.
If you would like to confirm availability or discuss arrangements for your baby’s circumcision or bris, please contact me. I look forward to serving your family in New Jersey with dedication and warmth.
New Jersey Circumcision & Bris
Personal care for your baby’s bris or circumcision with Rabbi Shlomo Golish, Certified Mohel.
Serving Families Across New Jersey
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."

New Jersey Bris Timing Chart — East Brunswick (5787 / 2026–2027):
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.
Zmanim vary across New Jersey. This chart uses Shkiya (sunset) for East Brunswick in Central New Jersey—not one time for the whole state. If you are not in East Brunswick, check the zmanim for your exact location and date, as the times may differ. For a birth near sunset, contact me or your Rabbi to confirm the halachic day of birth.
Non-Friday births:
Before Shkiah (sunset) → that day counts as Day 1. The Bris will be the following week on 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 East Brunswick, Central New Jersey (5787 / 2026–2027). All times are local PM times from the supplied MyZmanim East Brunswick calendar. Weekly Torah readings refer to the following Shabbos.
