Rabbi Claudio J. Kogan, M.D.
Certified Mohel
Phone: 732-801-3993
I am a certified mohel through the Bichur Cholim Hospital in Jerusalem (1997) under the supervision of Mohel Josef Halperin. I am also a practicing reform Rabbi, ordained in 2003 through the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. Lastly I am a trained medical doctor graduate of the University of Buenos Aires, School of Medicine (1995) after studying in both the United States and South America.
This makes me uniquely qualified to not only perform your baby son's bris, but to also help you through the pre and after care and to conduct a meaningful service and baby naming for you, your family and your friends.
Mohel Kogan has traveled and performed brises around the world and with days notice he will be happy to travel to perform the brit' Milah.
A tearless Bris and a calm night I have been the only mom I’ve seen who hasn’t cried at her son’s Bris (and I have cried at several, even when the child is not even my relative) and, if I have to thank anyone, it has to be Rabbi Claudio Kogan. He asked me if I preferred to be in a separate room while the actual Bris took place –I think that was a great suggestion–. He made the event special by asking close family members to make a wish for our baby Andrés. He also explained everything that was going on –which was ideal for our non-Jewish guests,– and filled the room with songs, inviting everyone to join him. The actual procedure went great and my baby slept like any other night before. The Rabbi also came the following day to make sure everything had gone well. Andrés is healing beautifully. Thank you, Rabbi Kogan! Fortunato, María Paulina, and Andrés will always be thankful for your services!
