I am in a position of teaching Torah to several young men who invariably point out their uncircumcised condition and ask a lot of questions concerning the necessity of such a procedure , the how and the expense. Please forward some information, as specific as possible indicating who you would reccommend to do this, the cost and the time involved.
thank you -------- Eliyahu
