A special moment,
in careful hands.
I am Rabbi Shlome Ekstein, a certified Mohel in Monroe, New York, continuing a tradition my father and his fathers carried for generations. For over 23 years I have performed Bris Milah for newborns — and for adult men who never had the opportunity as infants — across the Hudson Valley, Rockland County, New York City and the tri-state area, and travelling wherever I am needed.

About
A profession handed down, generation to generation.
My father was a Mohel, and so were the generations before him. I did not come to this work by chance — I grew up beside it, watched it, and was taught it directly by him.
I began learning the profession 23 years ago, studying under my father and alongside some of the leading mohalim of our time. What I learned from them was not only technique, but the responsibility that comes with being invited into a family’s most meaningful day.

How I can help your family
Adult Bris Milah
For men who did not have the opportunity as newborns. Performed with anesthesia, in a proper professional setting, with complete discretion.
Learn moreHatafas Dam, Teens and Revisions
Hatafas dam bris for a hospital circumcision or a conversion, a bris for older boys and teenagers, and revision where a circumcision was not done to a halachic standard.
Learn moreSeudas Bris
The meal after the Bris is part of the mitzvah, not an addition to it. I can arrange it for you — a full seudah, buffet style, or with beef — ordered in advance.
Learn moreTravel and Destination
Where there is no Mohel nearby, I travel. I have served communities across the United States and abroad, including some forty procedures in Latin America.
Learn moreSeudas Bris
No family should be without a seudah.
The meal after the Bris is part of the mitzvah, not an addition to it — and the brachos said over a child at his seudah are said over him once. I can arrange the whole thing for you, ordered in advance. And where the cost is a difficulty, for whatever reason, there is often a sponsor.
Ask me early and in private. It is arranged quietly, nobody at the simcha knows anything about it, and I will never raise it in front of a soul.
Your peace of mind
You should feel calm about this.
That is part of my job.
Most parents I meet are a little nervous, and every one of them has questions they are almost embarrassed to ask. Ask them. A family that understands exactly what will happen is a family that can actually be present for it.
Sterile, single-use instruments
Everything I bring is sterile and prepared for your child alone. Nothing is reused.
Comfort taken seriously
For infants, gentle and practiced technique that keeps the moment short and settled. For adults, anesthesia and proper pain management from start to finish.
Fully according to halacha
Performed to the standards I was raised with. I am glad to speak with your own Rav beforehand if that puts you at ease.
You can reach me
Before the day, and through the days of healing after it. If something worries you at three in the morning, call.
Discretion, especially for adults
An adult Bris is a private matter. Your conversation with me stays between us.
No pressure, ever
The first call costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Ask what you need to ask, and decide in your own time.
Let’s speak.
No obligation, and no question is too small. Call whenever suits you.
