GERMANY---On 24 October, “Snip It! Stances on Ritual Circumcision” opened at the
Jewish Museum Berlin. Incisive in every sense of the term, the exhibition explores male circumcision as such, but also reflects a sense among many Jews and Muslims that they and their religious traditions are not welcome in Germany. Against this backdrop, the Jewish Museum Berlin examines the little-known religious, cultural, and historical contexts of a millennia-old ritual in Judaism and Islam, and its reception in the Christian world.
