Serious question for modern reform jews
So a little back story. I am Jewish my wife is Catholic by tradition and more agnostic borserline atheist in practice. We've been together since we were teenagers. She respects many of my tradition and beliefs. We have a two yr old daughter together and she has gone to synagogue for more holidays and festivals and we say prayers every friday and i keep passover. We also celebrate the more secular traditions of Easter and Christmas in our house.
Here's the tricky part. We are expecting a son, and we have gotten into discussions over circumcision. She is saying she will be respectful of me and my beliefs but is having hold ups because of science and logic says the historical aspect of circumcision is cleanliness and we as modern humans know how to keep clean and the possible connection to increased pleasure.
I have hold outs on this decision because we are not raising our children with any one religion and respect for all religions, but also I'm a practicing reform jew, and there is part of me that is like Tevye with how far we are willing to go and him shunning Chava. Im just wanting to hear from other modern reform jews in a similar situation.
