Perhaps if Mohelim agreed to say, biannual screenings, the RCA would be more for it.

Why not have a Mohel screened for infectious diseases? What does Agudah have to lose?

Sounds as if the RCA’s opinion is that currently, MBP is being practiced in an irresponsible way, which is far from the truth.

Even if they feel that way, they should not be expressing it in a public statement, which only gives support to the mayor’s position. in effect, the RCA’s statement is counterproductive to its stated goal.

Looks like the RCA wants to be political about this. This is a non political issue we will not give up a half inch we will not talk discuss or reason with these people the answer is no and as the saying goes from Charleston Heston “from my cold dead hands”

This is a very weak statement. It is disappointing the RCA wasn’t strong in their support of those who practice metzitza b’peh, against government intrusion into a religious practice.
