I like the threads in this article, especially where they ended up! Circumcision is not only an act of defiance against assimilation but also a mitzvah, a chance to follow a commandment which Jews have done for thousands of years and link your family to all previous generations. (BTW, Muslim circumcision, called khitan, is performed at age 12 or 13--ouch!!!!)
