Don’t see what you’re looking for? Perhaps we can still help. Email us your location and what you’re seeking, and we’ll search our unpublished listings. Some institutions and clergy are welcoming but prefer not to be listed at this time.
Does your Jewish space welcome those who don’t circumcise? Are you a Jewish officiant who offers ceremonies to non-circumcising families? Get listed in our directory!
In listed organizations, circumcision status is never a barrier to any aspect of involvement. Listed clergy and rabbinical students perform welcoming ceremonies for babies who are not being circumcised. Jewish spaces of all kinds and Jewish clergy of any denomination, may request to be listed. Being listed does not mean you are opposed to brit milah.
What is a Jewish space? It can be a synagogue, JCC, school, summer camp, youth group or any other org. that meets in the physical or virtual world. It can also be a podcast or any other Jewish news outlet/forum.
Bruchim maintains a public and a private directory. You will indicate your choice. If you choose to be listed in the unpublished directory, we will give your name to those who contact us directly looking for a welcoming space/officiant in their area. Being listed in the unpublished directory will make it harder for individuals to find you, so we encourage you to be listed in our public directory, if possible.
