WATCH: Let's hear it for the bris-boy in the bris-mobile!

I used to mock all those “theme-bar mitzvahs” that Jews across the pond used to do. Over the years, the trend spilled over here, too.

But according to an Israeli online magazine called Saloona, there’s a new trend going on Israel. A disconcerting one, I may add. For the sake of my brethren in the Goldena Medina, I pray it stays on this side of the pond. (Video has no sound)

- @MJayRosenberg This is what I've heard :) Didn't work for me today...
- Just blocked and unfriended a nakba-denier on #nakba day. Thought it would make me happy. Just makes me want to puke.

- @JareerKassis (btw, calling your doubt "arrogant" isn't name calling. It's called "describing something" that you did. Not you.)
- @JareerKassis I believe I wasn't the one who started with the snarkiness. Maybe you should phrase things more politely next time. Ciao.
