On page 214 of "The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia" (Universal Jewish
Encyclopedia, Inc., 1939), the following is found:
"The circumcision rite consists of the following: 1. milah, cutting off the end
of the upper prepuce; 2. periah, baring the glans by tearing or cutting the
tender lower prepuce and pushing it behind the glans; 3. metzitzah, the sucking
of the wound, to staunch the blood, by means of the mouth, as practiced in
earlier times, or by means ofa suction cylinder or other modern methods in more
recent times."
On page/column 572 in Volume V of "Encyclopedia Judaica" (Keter Publishing
House, 1971), the following is found:
"The next stage is the performance of mezizah ('suction'). This has led to much
controversy in recent years. Throughout the ages this was done by suction by the
mouth in order, according to Maimonides, to remove the blood from the distant
parts of the wound (Maim. Yad, Milah, 2:2). It was the recognized method of
disinfection at thetime. A mohel who refrained from performing it was considered
to be endangering the life of the child, and had to be debarred from practice.
Toward the middle of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century cases of
syphilis, tuberculosis, and diphtheria occurring in infants were ascribed to
infection from mohalim using this method of suction. This has been contested by
a few Jewish doctors, and some communities still follow the original practice.
The Paris Consistoire abolished mezizah in 1843."
On page 167 of "Encyclopedia of Judaism" (Jerusalem Publishing House, Ltd.,
1989), the following is found:
"The circumcision itself takes only a few seconds, and is performed by a
circumciser (mohel). Formerly the blood was drawn orally by the mohel but now an
instrument is used."

All of the above information is easily found in the reference section of most
libraries, and furthermore, an Internet search on "mezizah" and/or "metzitzah"
will easily uncover the continued use of this practice.
It is interesting to note that while the above reference from 1971 specifies
"some" communities still following the original practice, it is actually the
huge majority of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox sects that still perform mezizah in
its original form, with the other sects of the cult of Judaism generally
accepting the abolition of mezizah as identified above after themselves having
performed the practicefor over a millennia, in accordance with the instructions
to the rabbis found in the Jewish Talmud.
The conclusion in the matter is that the "mezizah" is the stage of circumcision
where the mohel places his mouth on the baby's penis and sucks the blood and
skin from the wound. And while many of the sects of Judaism claim to no longer
use the mezizah, it is clear that this stage was performed by all sects for at
least a millennia, and in fact, is still performed in Orthodox and
Ultra-Orthodox sects (by some people who condemn homosexuality as a sin
punishable by death), all of which identifies the original nature of the ritual
upon which the modern operation is based. And at the same time, it is well-known
that many a rabbi reports experiencing an exciting chill from participation in
the ritual and that many rabbis consider it an honor to perform infant
circumcision, and because of this, there are many rabbis who have performed
thousands of these operations.

So who still performs this insane and psychotic ritual? All Jews who you see
wearing exclusively black clothes and black hats, are all those who belong to
the sects of the cult of Judaism that STILL PERFORM THIS EXACT RITUAL TO THIS
VERY DAY!!!
Don't believe me? Go research it yourself. Go to the library like I did. Go to
Orthodox Jewish web sites like I did. THIS IS TRUE! And why don't you know about
it?

Michael, you might want to check your facts. You're rather out of date. The
procedure is no longer performed.
