Hello:

I am in the process of converting to Judaism.  My younger son (age 3) needs to be circumcised soon for medical reasons and so I am going to go ahead and have his brother (4 and a half) circumcised then as well.

I'm a little nervous and wondering if anyone here has had a son circumcised at their age and what ther experience was.

thanks
Libby

Hi,
Are these going to be halakhic circumcisions (for the purpose of conversion) or plain medical ones? Either way, anyone I've ever heard of that has been circumcised older than 8 days has had anesthesia. One guy said it was like having his wisdom teeth taken out.
