Emily featured on Unorthodox podcast

Emily was featured on the March 27, 2019 Unorthodox podcast in an episode titled, “The Circumcision Episode.”

This week on Unorthodox, we’ve got a special episode dedicated to circumcision and the Jewish mitzvah known as the brit, or bris, that signifies entry into the tribe for 8-day-old Jewish males.

We talk to Dr. Emily Blake, the mohel who performed Mark’s son’s bris, about why this biblical practice has remained so central to the Jewish experience, even among the nonobservant.

Listen to the podcast.
