I'm not saying that it's a bad thing that it moved into hospitals Micheal, just wondering when.

Rabbis have been performing circumcisions for something like 6000 years Micheal, long before the department of health was established. TBH in the absense of a Dr I would trust my child's safety to a rabbi. In fact since some Rabbi's perform more circumcisions than I have hot dinners they might be a safer option.

ETA - Trillian, do you think any parent would entrust their baby to someone who didn't undergo training
