And myself and a bunch of friends got to talking about jews and israel...there were jewish folk among the crowd...
I brought up how i read an article saying a rabbi got into trouble for passing herpes to newborns during their brisk ceremony by stopping the blood from the cut penis buy sucking it.
This jewish friend of mine insisted i was making this up, got extremely angry, etc...
Needless to say...i was correct, and this was the old tradition amongst rabbis doing brisks. Some still practice this method till this day...
Just thought i would let you guys know.
Well...gotta wake up and go to a hockey game in 6 hours...go devils!
