Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of the greatest joys for a Jewish family. Part of that joy is preparing for the bris milah, a sacred mitzvah that has been faithfully carried out since the days of Avraham Avinu. For families in Toms River, NJ, and the surrounding communities, Rabbi Shlomo Golish offers professional, caring, and precise mohel services that honor both tradition and family needs.
With over 15 years of experience, Rabbi Golish combines surgical precision with warmth and sensitivity, ensuring that every bris is meaningful, safe, and smooth. Having trained at the London School of Circumcision and apprenticed in Israel under leading rabbinic and medical authorities, he brings a unique blend of halachic expertise, technical skill, and compassionate guidance.
Parents in Toms River can expect a complete and supportive experience from start to finish. Before the bris, Rabbi Golish provides a clear and reassuring pre-bris checkup (learn more here), reviewing the baby’s health and readiness. On the day itself, the ceremony is conducted with care and respect, bringing both spiritual depth and emotional comfort to the family. Afterward, parents receive detailed aftercare instructions and Rabbi Golish remains available for follow-up questions, ensuring full support beyond the ceremony.
Families often want to know what to expect logistically, and the FAQ section answers many of the most common questions with clarity and reassurance. Parents can also view real-life moments captured in the Gallery, which reflect Rabbi Golish’s calm, caring, and professional approach at dozens of brissim.

Toms River, New Jersey Bris Timing Chart (2025-2026):
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 Toms River, 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).
