Celebrating Brit Shalom Headed to Huge Rabbi Gathering

Article here. Excerpt:

'A 4000-plus convergence of Reform rabbis and congregational leaders is taking place in Orlando this November and Celebrating Brit Shalomwill be on hand. 

Celebrating Brit Shalom is the first-ever book specifically for Jewish families opting out of circumcision. Brit shalomis an alternative to brit milah for parents who want to give their boys a formal welcome to Jewish life, minus the circumcision. 

The Union for Reform Judaism’s 2015 Biennial calls itself the largest Jewish religious gathering in North America. Conference registration is open to the public, with much of the programming geared to those with leadership roles in congregations. Also during the biennial, decisions are made about the policies of the Reform movement. 

Throughout the five-day event, taking place Nov. 4-8, Celebrating Brit Shalomwill have a booth in the exhibit hall. Lisa Braver Moss and I will be on hand to discuss our book and the album of accompanying music, as well as the growing Jewish movement to question circumcision and the concept (pioneered by Lisa) that families who opt out of circumcision should be openly welcomed by the Reform movement.'
