[quote=Anonymous]Other aspects of Judaism being flexible depend on your type of Judaism. I don't agree with 'just have the darn bris' because honestly if it doesn't mean anything to you, don't have it. Customs for customs sake, to me, is false religion. If you dont find this a valuable aspect (the covenant with god, according to Jewish law) then don't do it. But I do thin k if you plan to raise your child actively religions, you should be prepared for questions or some issues when he is older, and how to handle what you will do if he wants it when he is older. But also, acting in alignment with Jewish values isn't really the same as being Jewish, to me. There are laws and requirements (outside of a bris) that should be part of a Jewish life. [/quote]
