Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That’s an orthodox Jewish thing, actually. Circumcision still happens in the US, and for Christians but it’s usually done at the hospital.
Correct. I couldn't think of the name, but generally in the hospital and they just ask at birth.
Cool cool, yeah.
And just to be 100% clear here, the blood sucking thing–to my understanding–is not even close to a common practice among Jewish folks. We’re taking only orthodox and possibly even only ultra-orthodox.
Oh, and you might have been looking for the word “rabbi”.
It's actually "mohel", but I'd assume (without any reason) that all or most mohels are rabbis I guess, but there's also mohelets, female mohels, and those probably aren't rabbis so. Some overlap probably between "mohel" and "rabbi", but different things.
Thanks!
Yeah, ive been up too long, can't think straight
