The Truth About Circumcision: Mezizah
On page 214 of "The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia" (Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Inc., 1939), the following is found:
"The circumcision rite consists of the following: 1. milah, cutting off the end of the upper prepuce; 2. periah, baring the glans by tearing or cutting the tender lower prepuce and pushing it behind the glans; 3. metzitzah, the sucking of the wound, to staunch the blood, by means of the mouth, as practiced in earlier times, or by means ofa suction cylinder or other modern methods in more recent times."
On page/column 572 in Volume V of "Encyclopedia Judaica" (Keter Publishing House, 1971), the following is found:
"The next stage is the performance of mezizah ('suction'). This has led to much controversy in recent years. Throughout the ages this was done by suction by the mouth in order, according to Maimonides, to remove the blood from the distant parts of the wound (Maim. Yad, Milah, 2:2). It was the recognized method of disinfection at thetime. A mohel who refrained from performing it was considered to be endangering the life of the child, and had to be debarred from practice. Toward the middle of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century cases of syphilis, tuberculosis, and diphtheria occurring in infants were ascribed to infection from mohalim using this method of suction. This has been contested by a few Jewish doctors, and some communities still follow the original practice. The Paris Consistoire abolished mezizah in 1843."
On page 167 of "Encyclopedia of Judaism" (Jerusalem Publishing House, Ltd., 1989), the following is found:
"The circumcision itself takes only a few seconds, and is performed by a circumciser (mohel). Formerly the blood was drawn orally by the mohel but now an instrument is used."
Mohel sucking blood from baby's penis
All of the above information is easily found in the reference section of most libraries, and furthermore, an Internet search on "mezizah" and/or "metzitzah" will easily uncover the continued use of this practice.
It is interesting to note that while the above reference from 1971 specifies "some" communities still following the original practice, it is actually the huge majority of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox sects that still perform mezizah in its original form, with the other sects of the cult of Judaism generally accepting the abolition of mezizah as identified above after themselves having performed the practicefor over a millennia, in accordance with the instructions to the rabbis found in the Jewish Talmud.
The conclusion in the matter is that the "mezizah" is the stage of circumcision where the mohel places his mouth on the baby's penis and sucks the blood and skin from the wound. And while many of the sects of Judaism claim to no longer use the mezizah, it is clear that this stage was performed by all sects for at least a millennia, and in fact, is still performed in Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox sects (by some people who condemn homosexuality as a sin punishable by death), all of which identifies the original nature of the ritual upon which the modern operation is based. And at the same time, it is well-known that many a rabbi reports experiencing an exciting chill from participation in the ritual and that many rabbis consider it an honor to perform infant circumcision, and because of this, there are many rabbis who have performed thousands of these operations.
