   Yet another baby has received herpes after an unchaste and unclean   
   mohel practiced circumcision with a centuries-old superstitious   
   tradition.   
      
   In ultra-orthodox Judaism, a practice known as metzitzah b’peh goes   
   back to the 4th Century Babylonian Talmud, and is not a tradition   
   taken from the Holy Bible. Metzitzah b’peh (meaning “oral suckage”) is   
   a practice in which the mohel (or mohelim, plural) who practice Jewish   
   circumcision uses his mouth to stop the bleeding of the infant. It is   
   not believed to be sexual in nature but was, at one time, thought   
   somehow medicinal.   
      
   A German professor published a handbook for mohelim, claiming there   
   was no medical evidence that using the mouth to clean the baby’s parts   
   and stop the bleeding was healthy, and could, in fact, cause   
   infection. Nonetheless, because of extra-biblical tradition, some   
   Mohelim to this day continue the practice (although provoked by the   
   AIDS crisis in the 1990s, some use a straw instead of directly to   
   their mouth).   
      
   According to the New York Times, 19 infants have received herpes by   
   this manner since 2006, and two have died. And according to this site,   
   which quotes the New York Department of Health, another baby has   
   contracted herpes.

   Of all the disgusting things jews do, and they certainly do more than   
   anyone else i've ever met, what turned me off the most was the   
   constant physical contact they engage with children. Its truly   
   disgusting.
