Statement of the Central Rabbinical Congress on DOH Vote Interfering with Bris Milah
(Thursday, September 13th, 2012)
We believe today?s action, which is based on the thinnest of contested anecdotal evidence, to be plainly unconstitutional and will be aggressively litigating this shocking governmental overreach. We are very confident the 1st Amendment affording the free exercise of religion; and the freedom of speech will be upheld by the courts.
The basis of Jewish law, the Torah, holds even a single life above all other concerns. No practice spanning thousands of years, undertaken by thousands annually, would be allowed in Jewish law if it were life-threatening. What the NYC Board of Health did today is an unforgivable affront.
