Hi Rabbi,

 

Thank you for helping us achieve the Brit Milah we had hoped for. From our first conversation, I knew you would be the mohel for us. How did I know? For starters, you are all about the health and safety of the baby. You answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease (first baby boy). My husband was impressed when you visited our son a few days before the Brit. You also arrived early on the day of the Brit and we appreciated how organized and conscientious you were. After the circumcision, you stayed and helped my husband feel confident with how to care for our son. Then, you were in contact up until Shabbat. On Sunday, you reached out and we could feel your dedication and thoughtfulness. Additionally, you came highly recommend by a good friend. I know I can recommend you in this same way now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

See note from my Dr.

Rabbi Schusterman did a great job taking care of me!  I don’t remember much about my bris, since I was so little and I’d had a bit of wine beforehand, but from what my mommy and daddy tell me, he was very precise.  He made sure I was healthy in the days before my bris, and checked me to make sure he knew what he was dealing with, before the ceremony.  Afterwards, he gave my mommy and daddy very good instructions to make sure I healed properly and quickly, and made sure they knew exactly what to do.  He talked with them lots of times in the first few days, to make sure I was doing ok.  I was uncomfortable for those first few days, but in the end I healed very, very well.  I feel very lucky that my mommy and daddy picked a mohel who cared so much about making sure that my bris was medically sound, and who takes his job seriously!

My being a Rabbi and this child being our third son I can say I have some experience with Mohels. R’ Nehemia simply blew me away with his dedication, care, professionalism and spiritually around this important mitzvah and his role as the Mohel. We were made to feel in every way that our son was in the best possible hands imaginable With R’ Nechemia as the Mohel.

Rabbi Schusterman performed our son Benjamin’s Bris in early June of 2017. He was very accommodating. He offered us the traditional circumcision method according to Orthodox law and a new type of circumcision method which has a faster healing time and was still in accordance with Orthodox practice. He explained both methods thoroughly so we could make an informed decision. After selecting our option, Rabbi Schusterman took every precaution, examined our baby, and checked on the lighting situation (as I learned later these were things needed to perform a Kosher Bris). His actions showed me that he was very serious in what he was doing which provided a lot of relief for my wife and myself.
At the Brit itself, Rabbi Schusterman explained the Mitzvah of the Bris to those in attendance which was a good ice breaker. Rabbi Schusterman then performed the Bris at which point he reiterated the aftercare instructions to my wife and I. He continued to check on Benjamin’s progress afterwards which was very touching. Benjamin healed much quicker than expected.
If anyone needs anymore convincing my wife and I had to take Benjamin to the pediatrician for a routine check up and she told us that whoever performed the Bris did a fantastic and professional job.
Sincerely,
Ari Anconina

Dear Rabbi Schusterman,

Racheline and I can’t thank you enough for performing the Bris for our son Zachary. This was not the first Bris for one of our children. Although our first Mohel was recommended to us and did an exceptional job, we feel that our experiences with you was the complete package.

  • We wanted a Conservative or Orthodox Brit Milah
  • You were professional, caring and concerned about the well-being of our child
  • You prepared us for what to expect in the procedure and had a contingency just in case we were missing anything
  • You listened to what we wanted in a Brit Milah ceremony and you were open to our new ideas and customs
  • You were sympathetic to our financial needs and willing to work with us on costs
  • You made the ceremony a memorable experience for myself, Racheline, our family and our guests
  • You followed up with Zachary shortly after the ceremony to make sure he was doing ok and with us via text to make sure he continued making progress.
  • You drove all the way back to our home the next day to make sure he was doing ok.

A Brit Milah is a joyous occasion and we felt it important to preserve our own traditions, songs and customs. You delivered in that regard and we can’t thank you enough. In our search for a mohel, for whatever reason, we found that most Mohelim are opposed to deviating from their customary routine of performing the ceremony.

We would be happy to recommend you to any Jewish parents who are looking for an authentic traditional Bris.

Thank you again!

Just bumped into these twins four years later at their little cousin Elijah’s bris. What a nice surprise.

Hi Rabbi,

Thanks for checking in. Sorry I have not had a chance to reply. Been crazy busy and hectic since Angela left … Reality has set in.

Both boys are healing well. Jacob is healing a bit faster than Tyler but all is good.

Below is the testimonial:

Thank you so much for performing the double bris for our twin boys. My wife and I are happy we were referred to you. Both boys are healing well.

We appreciate your coming to the house to check out the boys before the bris and for taking the time to answer our questions and explain everything to us. You helped put our minds at ease. The ceremony was meaningful and the guests enjoyed your explanations of the customs being performed.

Thank as well for all the follow-ups to check on their healing, especially for coming to the house the next day to change their bandages and to make sure they looked good. You have shown great care and professionalism. We will certainly recommend you to others who are in need of a mohel.

All the best.

Dear Rabbi Nechemia,

Thank you for performing the Bris on our son Aron in such a caring and professional manner. Everybody who attended the Bris were impressed with the quality of care and your expertise in performing this very important milestone in Jewish life. As new parents, we were very nervous to say the least; however, you were able to quell our fears and concerns. Lastly, thank you also for performing the bris so close to Pesach too!

We will recommend you to any Jewish parents who are looking for an authentic traditional Bris.

Thank you again!

Dear Rabbi Nechemia,

 

We would like to thank you with all our hearts for performing the Bris

in such a caring and professional manner. Thank you for calling several

times and answering all our questions. You were so friendly and cheerful

at the Bris and made us all feel good and helped relieve the natural

tension any parent might feel during the procedure. Our midwife was also

very impressed with how you handled the Bris. She said the way you

performed it was one of the best and most professional she had ever seen..

 

The instructions you gave us were detailed and easy to follow. Thank you

so much for your follow-up visit the next day to check on Aaron and then

coming over yet one more time (at our request) to make sure everything was fine. Aaron

has recovered quickly and easily, thank G-d.

 

We will wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone who asks!

 

Best regards from our whole family,

 

-Nina and Kon Litovsky
