I found out I had an infant Brit Milah :)

I’m currently undergoing conversion and this post isn’t relevant to my actual status, but I just thought I’d share that apparently my father had me circumcised by a mohel (Reform, he was also an MD) when I was 8 days old.

My father was Jewish not my mother, so this post isn’t about halacha, I just felt like sharing because I thought it was very moving. I had always assumed I was circumcised like most American boys just because of the culture but out of curiosity I asked my mother why it was done when I was a baby given I wasn’t raised Jewish and apparently my father did do it for religious reasons :). My parents were supposed to raise me both religions (my mom is Christian) but for whatever reason as I got older my father sort of abandoned Yiddishkeit and synagogue altogether. I still think it’s cool that I’m reconnecting with my heritage and this piece of history is my own :).

I know people will debate whether what my father did was ok or not since I’m not halachically Jewish, but my father grew up Reform and did what he thought was right. I also realize now that I’m undergoing giyur that I will of course have to do Hatafat Dam Brit. I didn’t make the post to be inflammatory or to post about Halacha, I just thought it was cool :)z
