      abstract = {This upbeat, often humorous film presents three busy  mohels - Jewish ritual circumcisers-as they practice their  ancient profession in modern Los Angeles. One is a young  doctor with a flair for show business ("The Mohel to the  Stars"); one is a nurse midwife with a spiritual bent; and  one is an Orthodox rabbi whose skill has consecrated  thousands of male babies.What L.A. Mohel does exceptionally  well is to show how this 3700 year-old ritual is an  occasion for joy and celebration, and how Jews of various  cultural backgrounds express their identity, their faith,  and their family ties, in these early moments of life.},
