"Celebrating Brit Shalom" released

Press release here. Excerpt:

'Notim Press is pleased to announce the publication of Celebrating Brit Shalom, the first book written specifically for Jewish families opting out of circumcision. The book includes a choice of three bris-without-circumcision ceremonies, designed to be either family-led or rabbi-led. It also features sheet music to four original songs written to accompany the ceremonies (recorded versions available separately). The volume is already receiving praise from rabbis and other Jewish thinkers.

"Without asking anyone's permission, [Lisa] Braver Moss and [Rebecca] Wald have crafted a beautiful series of alternative welcoming ceremonies that are in deep conversation with the Jewish tradition. The fact that Celebrating Brit Shalom exists is a testament to both the ingenuity of its creators and the vitality of the Jewish tradition," says Tikkun Magazine.

Rabbi Irwin Kula, President of the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, has endorsed the book and says, "Celebrating Brit Shalom will help thousands of people and no doubt open up new conversations of heart, mind and spirit."'
