Mohel contacts in Frankfurt

Hi All,

My Jewish friend is about to have a baby soon. She does not know the gender yet (she prefers a surprise), but in case it's a boy, she would like to conduct a circumcision, possibly using a Mohel (certified Jewish circumciser).

There must not be many of these around, but if anyone knows of or has the number of a snipper in Germany who would come to Frankfurt for a bris, sharing that would be appreciated.

10x,
Gil.

Your friend could contact:

Rabbi Kai Eckstein
Postfach 740121
22091 Hamburg
Germany
+49 (0)40 287 81 187
humanrabbi [at] hotmail.com

Rabbi Eckstein claims he will travel anywhere in Europe to help with Brit Shalom. I found this fella on the net so can't personally vouch for him.

Alternatively, the Israeli Embassy may be able to help:

Embassy of Israel in Berlin, Germany
Auguste-Victoria-Str. 74
14193 Berlin
Germany

Phone: 030/8904 5531

Have you tried contacting the Jewish Community in Frankfurt? If not, maybe they can help out. I work next door to them and they are Hebrew speaking. I know nothing about Judaism but maybe someone there can point you in the right direction?

Juedische Gemeinde Frankfurt
Westendstrasse 43
60325 Frankfurt/Main
Tel:+49-69-76 803 60
Fax:+49-69-76 8036 66

Hope you find what you are looking for and good luck to your friend with her baby!

Thanks Slackmack and Josie,

My friend is very secular, the Bris is one of the last things she still follows
The Jewish Community here is far too orthodox for her, and she will contact them only as a last resort.
I also have my doubts that any recommendation they give would be a personal one.
I was kinda-hoping that someone could vouch for a mohel personally, but I know that's a stretch.

I'll wait a few more days and if nothing materializes here on the board, I guess she'd have to go with one thru hearsay you have been kind enough to offer :$
Thanks for that.
