Rabbi Zalman Carlebach C.M. originally from Johannesburg, South Africa is a Highly Experienced and Professional Expert Mohel, Certified by The American Board of Ritual Circumcision and The Board of Circumcision of Israel. Rabbi Zalman is unrivaled as the most sought after, respected and popular mohel in San Diego and the west coast area. He is hailed for his excellent skills, technical competency and vast experience with the circumcision of hundreds of infants. His warm, cheerful, upbeat personality and unrelenting service excellence, has attributed to his massive roster of highly satisfied parents. You will feel confident that your baby is in skilled and experienced hands with Rabbi Carlebach as your mohel.
Doctors, surgeons, and Pediatric Urologists in particular, who have observed his technique, marvel at his gentle and delicate touch, coupled with exacting precision, skill and speed. In fact – they regularly refer patients to him. Rabbi Zalman’s procedure is done in 20 seconds, compared to a typical hospital circumcision that may take twenty minutes or longer! His procedure is done without the use of any painful devices such as clamps or hemostats, so that your baby is spared unnecessary pain.
“Bris milah,” meaning “covenant of circumcision,” began when G-d commanded Avraham to circumcise himself as a sign of the covenant with the Children of Israel. This mitzvah requires Jewish fathers to ensure their sons are circumcised at 8 days old, appointing a certified mohel if needed.
A bris is a beautiful and meaningful experience that connects your son to G-d and our Jewish heritage. It is an honor for me to help you fulfill this important mitzvah.
We are so grateful to Rabbi Carlebach for the care, expertise, and warmth he brought to our son’s bris. Having known him for many years, we had complete trust in his skill and guidance, and he made the entire experience so meaningful and comforting. His professionalism, kindness, and deep connection to tradition created a beautiful and smooth ceremony. We highly recommend Rabbi Carlebach to any family looking for a compassionate and experienced mohel. Thank you for making this special moment so memorable!
“We were very happy with Rabbi Carlebach’s care and guidance. He was always available if we had any questions or concerns. He told us what to do before during and after the bris. He made sure we understood the instructions for after care. Even our pediatric doctor said “the circumcision looked good”!
