Bonus Episode: Mitzvot, Malarkey, and Medical Ethics with Jennifer Margulis

Bruchim

In this bonus episode, Eli sits down with journalist and human rights advocate Jennifer Margulis to explore her journey from accepting circumcision as a given to becoming one of its most thoughtful critics. Jennifer shares how her views were first challenged in her 20s during a human rights fellowship, how Jewish tradition and American medical culture shape parental assumptions, and why informed consent and bodily autonomy must be central to our discussions about infant circumcision.
