They would generally perform circumcision either in the house or in the synagogue. They would invite many people, because they said that it was a good deed to hear the cry (of the baby) at circumcision. Our rabbi would perform the circumcision himself. He would come to the house or the synagogue. He would say a blessing and perform the circumcision. He circumcised him very well. He was much better than the doctors who do it. The people were not ill at ease, yet they did not have medicines at that time to apply. They would burn rags and they would put on the circumcision the burnt ash, burnt rags.
