Religious male circumcision generally occurs shortly after birth, during childhood or around puberty as part of a rite of passage.

According to the Torah and Halakha Jewish religious law , ritual circumcision of all male Jews and their slaves Genesis —13 is a commandment from God that Jews are obligated to perform on the eighth day of birth, [12] [13] and is only postponed or abrogated in the case of threat to the life or health of the child.

I knew he did not have long, but like everyone else, I just wanted to hear him one more time on the radio. I started listening to Rush right after high school in the early 90s. He really spoke for me and millions of Americans. He said what we all wanted to say and gave conservatives a voice.
