The Operated Jew

An operated Jew is someone who has undergone a medical procedure called circumcision. Circumcision is a procedure where a professional removes the skin around the tip of a boy's penis, called the foreskin. It is often done for religious or cultural reasons. Boys who have been circumcised have lower risk of some infections and are less likely to develop cancer of the penis later in life.
