Jodie - the info i heard was more in relation to reform in the US, which is a lot more lax than reform here. I believe reform here is more like the US conversative - confusing i know!

Like i said, i could be wrong, i'm not in the reform community and never have been, its just what i've picked up from newspapers and other places.

Caro - a bris is just the Hebrew word for circumcision. I will try and write a bit about the ceremony (i've 1/2 done one on the wedding, just have to find it). And i'll answer the rest of your questions soon, just got really bad m/s atm (had my first spew this afternoon.. i guess at almost 9 weeks it wasn't such a bad run)...

Have to go lie down.. But feel free to ask any questions you want, they are nothing i haven't heard (or thought myself) before (i didn't grow up religious, or barely Jewish myself).

Proud Mummy - glad some of it helped. If the mohel Jodie suggest can't help, i can send you the info on the other guy.
