What does MOHEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person, usually trained in Jewish law and surgical technique, who performs the ritual circumcision of a Jewish infant boy.
A mohel is trained both in the religious requirements of the ceremony, known as a brit milah, and in the practical surgical skill needed to perform it safely. The role has existed within Jewish communities for centuries, passed on through apprenticeship rather than a single formal school. Families typically invite a mohel to the home or synagogue on the eighth day after a boy is born, and the mohel leads prayers as well as the procedure itself.
