Leading up to our son’s bris a few weeks ago, my wife and I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect mohel. And we’re convinced that we found him in Rabbi Lawrence!

Rabbi Lawrence performed our son’s bris a few weeks ago, and he was amazing to work with in all aspects. Leading up to the bris, he was diligent and patient in learning about our family and preparing us for the bris. On the day of the bris, he was calm and confident as he led us through a moving ceremony. He efficiently performed the circumcision with expert technique. He has continued to patiently instruct us on the aftercare protocol and has been incredibly responsive and readily available when we have had any questions or concerns at any hour.

We give him our highest recommendation and will absolutely use him again if we’re blessed with another son.

Rabbi Lawrence did a wonderful job with our son's bris. Our family and guests from different backgrounds could all appreciate the ceremony. Rabbi Lawrence was flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. Most importantly, he kept in touch with us afterwards and really helped guide us with the aftercare process, reassuring us about our son's recovery. He was very accessible by phone/text with any questions or concerns. We highly recommend him!

Rabbi Lawrence was simply incredible during the whole process of setting up a bris for our son. He has such a pleasant demeanor. His communication was impeccable, and you can tell he is so passionate about what he does, and how he cares for each of his clients from start to finish. He was so patient with my husband and I, and is extremely accommodating.

Our families had such positive things to say about our sons ceremony and how beautiful and special it was. He took the time to explain what was taking place, what everything meant, and was sure to include everyone. I highly highly highly recommend using Rabbi Lawrence if you are looking for a mohel.

Strong five-star endorsement. Rabbi Lawrence did a fantastic job with every element of our bris: meeting beforehand to get to know me and my wife, leading the ceremony, performing the circumcision, and providing clear post-bris care instructions. He was friendly, calm, and earned praise from all attendees. Would recommend to anyone looking to do a bris in his geographic area.

Rabbi Lawrence was to great to work with! In addition to conducting a beautiful bris, he was very involved in the lead up to the bris and post-bris as well. Before the bris, he explained the details of the ceremony and helped us navigate the giving out of honors to our various family members. After the bris he provided thorough after-care instructions and made himself available for follow-up and questions.

Rabbi Lawrence was great on every level -- professional, pastoral, and personal. He was ready from the beginning to work with us to create the bris that our family wanted, and as a result we'll have memories to treasure for a lifetime. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.

Rabbi Lawrence was professional, prepared and thorough, and helped us thoughtfully craft a meaningful and spiritual bris experience that we could not be happier with. He made the whole process feel easy, and walked us through it step-by-step as many times as we needed. He was also very available for questions about post-bris care in the following days and weeks. We would highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence as a mohel!

Rabbi Lawrence was quick to communicate and confirm our bris, walked us through every step prior to, showed up promptly and was so calm and professional. He was swift and very thorough and made us feel at ease, as well as informed and prepared for after care. He also guided us through a Hebrew middle name for our son, which is so perfect and fitting. Many people told us they thought he was so great at explaining the ceremony, rituals, and loved his voice and calm nature. Most of all, the actual circumcision was as seamless as if could be.We couldn’t be happier!

My father, z"l, was a general surgeon and so finding a mohel who would put my son's safety first when conducting his circumcision was our top priority. And wow. I can't overemphasize how courteous, sensitive, and professional R' Lawrence is not only with the milah, but with crafting the ceremony that's right for each family.

He was able to make ample room for my wife to hold an active role in the ceremony while in the space of our Orthodox shul and within the daled amot of halachah. The circumcision itself was incredibly quick, efficient and safe, and my son cried for only a few seconds at most. Lastly, he gave very concise aftercare instructions, and was available to call over the following weeks in case we had any questions about what to do.

Our pediatrician later remarked after examining our son that his circumcision was one of the best she's ever seen.

Our experience with Rabbi Lawrence was 6 stars! He was exceptionally patient, thorough, and efficient. Rabbi Lawrence's professionalism is complemented by his genuine warmth. Could not ask for a better Mohel.

I spent a lot of time researching the perfect Mohel for my son’s Bris and I am so glad I chose Rabbi Lawrence. He was very helpful and giving of his time before the Bris to answer my many questions including his safety protocols of the circumcision and choosing the most meaningful Hebrew name for my son. The ceremony was just beautiful and exactly how I envisioned it. He is passionate about his role, and was personable, caring and patient before, during and after the Bris. Rabbi Lawrence made sure my family had a positive, memorable experience, and I will always be grateful for the huge part he played in my son’s special day.

Rabbi Lawrence did a beautiful job with the ceremony, the procedure itself and was very clear with care instructions afterward. Would definitely use him again and recommend him highly!!

Wow! I can not say enough good things about Rabbi Lawrence. Besides doing the the actual bris flawlessly he spent time with us before and after.

Before the bris Rabbi Lawrence spoke with us on the phone a few times. He explained everything to us in detail and helped me calmed my nerves. He also helped us figure out how to include some family traditions.

After the bris he explained everything to us in person with pictures and props and sent us written instructions. He checked in on us and our son every hour after that to make sure the healing process was going well.

He has been available for every question and picture I have had.

On top of all this rabbi Lawrence helped me stay calm on what is a very emotional day.

If you are looking for a mohel who goes above and beyond rabbi Lawrence is your man!

Rabbi Lawrence made our son's bris incredibly meaningful. He was extremely intentional about all details of both the procedure and the ceremony - I highly recommend him!

Rabbi Lawrence is the epitome of a caring and professional mohel. He took the time to explain everything to us before and after my sons brit milah and imbued such a wonderful spirit during the ceremony itself. Do not hesitate to reach out!

Rabbi Lawrence was so excellent to work with. He was responsive, reassuring, patient, and answered all of our questions! As this was our first Bris, he clearly explained the expectations and how the ceremony would flow and meticulously explained aftercare to ensure we were comfortable. He even gave our other child a Hebrew name prior to the Bris. We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence as your Mohel!

Rabbi Lawrence conducted a meaningful bris for our son, engaging the entire family and making the ceremony accessible to all denominations. From our first phone call with him, my wife and I felt at ease and confident our son was in good hands. Between our phone calls and the documents he provided, Rabbi Lawrence shared exactly what we should expect during the ceremony. He also did not leave until he was 100% sure we understood how to care for the wound, which gave us peace of mind. And in case we forgot a detail, he shared a comprehensive aftercare guide.

It's worth mentioning I'm leaving this 5-star review two weeks after the bris. Our son is fully healed now, and it's clear Rabbi Lawrence did an excellent job.

We cannot say enough good things about Rabbi Lawrence and how he conducted our son’s bris. He did a great job personalizing the ceremony and making it as inclusive and meaningful as possible. He was also very accessible and quick to answer questions before and after the bris. It couldn’t have gone any better and we definitely recommend Rabbi Lawrence!

Highly recommend using Rabbi Lawrence to know you’re in good and caring hands!

Rabbi Lawrence was the perfect choice for us - the ceremony was melodic, meaningful and very calm. We especially appreciated the detailed after-care walkthrough. Highly recommend

We could not be more grateful to have found Rabbi Lawrence. I was looking for a queer friendly mohel, and I found one! Rabbi Lawrence made our family feel seen and valued in ways that mean everything to use as lesbian moms. He performed the circumcision on our son and simultaneously named our daughter, who is six months older than her brother. Rabbi Lawrence also helped us honor our oldest daughter who passed away. He did an expert job, and when we were anxious a little over a week later, he came and looked at our son's healing progress and was incredibly helpful and reassuring. We have referred him to family members. We are so tremendously happy to have found him and are so thankful for his support and care for our family, especially our little boy.

Rabbi Lawrence treated our son and family with the utmost respect and care in preparation of, during and following the bris. He led a meaningful ceremony, was responsive to questions and was extremely flexible to the needs of our family. Would not hesitate to recommend Rabbi Lawrence to other families.

We had a really great experience with Rabbi Lawrence . He is flexible and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend.

We honestly could not have asked for a better experience with Rabbi Lawrence. Everyone was so impress by him! He led a beautiful and deeply meaningful service. He was efficient, patient and knowledgeable. He made sure everything went well and did a phenomenal job at explaining every step of the way. He was also very inclusive which was important to us. We are so grateful we chose him!! It was such an amazing experience through and through. Thank you Rabbi Lawrence!!

Rabbi Lawrence was thoughtful, kind and precise. His expertise along with thorough instructions before, during and after made for a great experience. His attention to our interfaith family allowed my wife and I to feel most comfortable and allowed to truly embrace this wonderful time in welcoming our son into this world. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for Bris for their family as he truly is wonderful and sweet man.

Rabbi Lawerence is a great family Mohel, we had a great experience. Detailed instructions and follow ups. Couldn’t have asked for better. Definitely highly recommended!

We were so happy to have chosen Rabbi Lawrence to lead a ceremony that was at a pivotal moment in our son’s life. He was and continues to be in the after care period, patient, prompt in response time, professional and caring.

We have received particular mention from family members who attended the bris that they really loved how articulate, calm, and inclusive he was, such that members in attendance felt very connected to the event.

If we have another boy in the future, we would without a doubt use Rabbi Lawrence for the bris!

Rabbi Lawrence was unbelievably knowledgeable, kind, and wonderful for our son’s bris. The service was beautiful and he makes sure to follow up even after the bris with the aftercare. I truly cannot thank him enough for making the day so special!

Rabbi Lawrence made the Bris a very good experience for our family. We highly recommend him. We are so appreciative for the beautiful, inclusive ceremony that was provided for us. A memorable experience, thank you so much Rabbi Lawrence!

Rabbi Lawrence skillfully wove in Portuguese and Yiddish into our Bris this morning! His musicality and professionalness added to the celebration! Would def recommend!

Rabbi Lawrence conducted our son's Brit Milah and we had an absolutely wonderful experience. He was extremely thoughtful and thorough in his explanations before, during, and after the ceremony. He made us feel very comfortable, and our guests felt very welcomed.

We had the privilege of having Rabbi Eliezer Lawrence as the Mohel for our son's bris, and we couldn't have asked for a more attentive and spiritual experience. Rabbi Lawrence truly understood and respected our vision for a meaningful Brit Milah, considering our level of observance. His diligence in providing aftercare instructions and his responsiveness to our concerns was truly commendable. On the day of the ceremony, he managed everything efficiently without sacrificing any of the ritualistic and important elements of the bris and naming. We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence for his professionalism, understanding, and dedication to making our son's bris a memorable and spiritually enriching event. Five stars!

Rabbi Lawrence was absolutely outstanding. We found him when it was time for the second bris in my family, and what a world of difference! We spoke with him a few days in advance of the bris and he asked us questions designed to make the ceremony especially meaningful to us personally. He also talked to us about our experience with the last bris to understand what we’d like to keep and change for this one. On the day of the bris, his calm and confident demeanor, and his gentleness with our son, allowed me to enjoy the milestone without being overly stressed and anxious. I would very confidently recommend Rabbi Lawrence to anyone in our area looking for a great mohel. We really appreciate the role he played in our simcha.

Two weeks ago our son had the most special and beautiful bris. I would recommend Rabbi Lawrence and use him again. Prior to the bris he walked us through what the ceremony would look like and answered all of our questions. After the bris he provided great after care instructions, and was available any time we had follow up questions through text or a call. He truly cares.

We can’t speak more highly of Rabbi Lawrence. With a Bris comes a lot of questions and concerns. As our Mohel, Rabbi Lawrence did a wonderful job putting our minds at ease and his after-care instructions and availability for any concerns that may arise, gave us the confidence we needed. We can’t recommend him enough and have no doubt future families will find themselves in wonderful hands with his services. Our son’s Bris was all the more special because of Rabbi Lawrence.

Rabbi Lawrence was an absolute pleasure to work with and is an expert in his craft. He was very informative before and after the ceremony. The Ceremony itself was performed very well and hygienically, and made sure to include the entire family.

We waited several weeks to ensure everything healed well and correctly and we are beyond thrilled with the result. The Rabbi was also available the entire time for any questions our concerns and was very quick to get back to us when we reached out. We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence for the Bris of your child!

So lucky to have been recommended Rabbi Lawrence for my son's bris a few months ago. I am Jewish but my husband is not, so it was important for us to find a mohel who would make us both feel comfortable while also maintaining the sacredness and integrity of the bris. Rabbi Lawrence was warm, welcoming, nonjudgmental, and facilitated a beautiful ceremony that was inclusive of both our families. We had family in-person and on Zoom and both had only great things to say about Rabbi Lawrence and the ceremony. At Rabbi Lawrence's suggestion, we even did an impromptu naming ceremony for our daughter since she was born during the height of covid and missed out on this special milestone. We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence!

We recently had the honor of working with Rabbi Lawrence at our son's bris. He made the whole experience very comfortable, worry-free, and meaningful. Rabbi Lawrence created a warm, intimate environment for the ritual, and we will remember it as a very special day. The service was short and accessible to all, and catered to our family's needs. We felt very confident in his work, and were so thankful for a healthy, safe circumcision for our son. Rabbi Lawrence made sure we felt totally equipped to care for our son following the procedure. We can't recommend him highly enough, and hope we have the privilege of working with him again in the future.

Rabbi Lawrence made our Bris celebration easy, smooth and joyful as it can be. He was available and helpful from the very first call we had with him. The ceremony itself was beautiful, personal and felt very comfortable.

Everything went so well. We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence.

Rabbi Lawrence was amazing! He was warm, knowledgeable, thorough, and detail oriented. He made sure we felt comfortable leading up to the bris and led a beautiful and personalized ceremony incorporating all of our family members. It really felt like we had known him for years! He was patient throughout and guided us through all of the details with caring for our son after the bris. Rabbi Lawrence did an excellent job and I would highly recommend him to friends and family members!

Thank you for everything. It was a really special ceremony. Everyone had great things to say and some thought you were the best Mohel they’ve ever seen! Thanks so much!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Rabbi Eliezer Lawrence for our son's bris, and we can't recommend him highly enough. From the moment we first spoke, his professionalism, experience, and caring nature truly set our minds at ease. He took the time to explain the procedure, answer all of our questions, and help us understand the significance of the tradition we were upholding. His attention to detail and post-procedure care instructions were also outstanding. Rabbi Lawrence went above and beyond for our son and we are so glad we chose him.

Rabbi Lawrence is a wonderful and caring mohel! He was gentle, comforting, reassuring, traditional, and skillful. I was a nervous wreck, but Rabbi Lawrence's sweet sense of humor and humility put all of us at ease. He conducted a lovely and warm ceremony and the snip was over before we knew it... phew! Our baby boy is recovering nicely at home and we are so pleased that we chose Rabbi Lawrence to conduct the bris. Additionally, he has gone above and beyond to check in with us regarding after-care and it's clear that he is available should we have any follow up questions. We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence!

Rabbi Lawrence is an amazing Mohel. He did an outstanding job, beautiful ceremony and was always very helpful, caring and communicative.

We were very impressed by Rabbi Lawrence. From the beginning, he was kind and friendly. We were anxious before the Bris, however he was very calm and patient in explaining the process with us. He was also available to answer any questions both before and after. Thank you Rabbi Lawrence!!

Rabbi Lawrence did a phenomenal job as Mohel for my son's bris. Rabbi was extremely caring and personable from the day we reached out to him all the way through the Bris and afterwards. From our initial convos to the Bris, he was very articulate and explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand. He put my wife and I at ease knowing we were in good hands for such an important ceremony and procedure. Our guests also had great things to say about him and hope to use him in the future. 5 stars and beyond! Look no further for your Mohel, Rabbi Lawrence is your guy!

Coached us throughout, was so easy to work with, and did a fantastic job.

Rabbi Lawrence is an excellent mohel- both skilled and comforting to nervous parents. He made the bris easy with clear instructions and beautiful considerations of our specific traditions.

Rabbi Eliezer performed a wonderful, intimate ceremony, with all attendees quite pleased.

Rabbi Lawrence conducted our son’s bris in a thoughtful and dignified manner. As important, he was there every step of the way to reassure my wife and I of the medical aspects of the procedure and how to ensure that our som would heal well. No question was too silly, no concern too small for him. What’s more, he’s a nice guy! I cannot recommend his services enough.

Rabbi Lawrence helped my family craft a deeply meaningful and relevant ceremony that was both steeped in tradition and in step with our progressive Jewish values. He was attentive and sensitive throughout and continued to follow up regularly after the ceremony and bris to ensure our son recovered well. Wherever you fall out on the religious spectrum, Rabbi Lawrence will work with you to create a ceremony that is personal and encompasses who you are as a family. P.S. Our son’s pediatrician was very impressed by Rabbi Lawrence’s skill.

Rabbi Lawrence was great! We got a recommendation to use him from our local Rabbi.
Rabbi Lawrence was thorough with his intake, and instructions so that this was a successful procedure, and followed up not only after it was finished, but also a couple of months after to make sure that everything was ok. He made the event seem like he had been planning it for weeks, and he customized it to our families preferences.

We are grateful for Rabbi Lawrence and enthusiastically recommend him.

Rabbi Lawrence was truly awesome! The bris ceremony was very meaningfully done and just the right amount of time. After the bris nearly everyone of the guests noted that they really liked Rabbi Lawrence and wanted to know how we found him. He did an excellent job of integrating the traditional liturgy with English translations and comments as needed which allowed all in attendance at the bris to feel comfortable and included. I would highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence --- he is one of the most caring and considerate Jewish professionals I have encountered in the past few years.

Rabbi Lawrence is a fantastic mohel, and we could not have been more pleased with our son's bris. He was available in advance of the birth to walk us through what to expect and answer our questions, and he conducted a beautiful and meaningful ceremony that was accessible to all in attendance, musical, and felt like it was created just for us. He provided detailed aftercare instructions and was available for any questions we had. We knew our son was in safe, caring, and skilled hands with Rabbi Lawrence (and so were we!).

What a truly wonderful experience, having Rabbi Lawrence conduct our son’s Bris. My wife & I are so thankful for both the spiritual richness of the ceremony he led, and for the great attentiveness and care with which he approached the circumcision itself. Rabbi Lawrence conducted the circumcision safely and sensitively, and our NYU Langone pediatrician remarked at a check up the next day that the quality of the work was excellent. The ceremony was quite memorable, and imbued with warm spiritual meaning. My wife and I are an interfaith and interracial couple, and at all times we felt embraced and treated with total respect by Rabbi Lawrence, and felt that our son’s Jewish identity was honored without question. Rabbi Lawrence’s invitation to us to articulate and bless our son with our deepest wishes for his life during the ceremony, inspired important introspection that will inform our journey as parents. And his thoughtful notes on aftercare and ready availability to discuss the healing process in real-time via text has provided us with peace of mind. We recommend him to other parents wholeheartedly—I can’t imagine a better Bris experience.

Rabbi Lawrence came highly recommended by our friends and he certainly exceeded our high expectations. He was warm, gentle, and highly professional, taking plenty of time to explain the procedure and aftercare. He performed a beautiful ceremony for our son’s brit milah that my family and I will remember forever. We are extremely happy we chose Rabbi Lawrence to be our “Family Mohel.”

I have only positive things to say about Rabbi Lawrence. He performed a very meaningful brit milah for our son, and he made each guest feel included and part of the ceremony, regardless of religious background. As this is our first kid we were very nervous, both about the procedure itself and the aftercare. Rabbi Lawrence was really understanding in this regard made himself very available to answer questions regarding aftercare and to check in with us and on our son frequently, way beyond what we expected. I would strongly recommend using Rabbi Lawrence for a brit milah.

We had the loveliest experience with Rabbi Eliezer for our son's bris! He was patient and explained each part of the ceremony, both religiously and logistically, and when I (the irrational, hormone-filled parent) had some caveats about something, Rabbi Eliezer took several phone calls to help work through the issue and make sure we were comfortable with everything. From pre-care to aftercare, he made sure both us and the baby were comfortable and prepared.

The actual bris went off without a hitch and was an absolutely lovely event, he was a wonderful and professional officiant. The actual procedure was so fast, gentle, and done with care. The handiwork is excellent.

Afterwards, we had the opportunity to hold a pidyon haben for our son and Rabbi Eliezer kindly took the time before a busy Rosh Hashanah to answer questions we had about that ceremony even though he wouldn't be officiating.

If we end up having another son, we will certainly call on Rabbi Eliezer, and recommend you doing so too!

Rabbi Lawrence performed our son’s bris with professionalism, courtesy, and gracefulness. As new parents we were a bit nervous however, he is very personable and open-minded, and is always eager to help and answer questions. He provides clear aftercare instructions and even follows up with you immediately after the ceremony. A truly outstanding Mohel! I highly recommend him!

Rabbi Lawrence did incredible job for my sons Bris- Very warm and engaging. Can't wait to tell as many people that will listen how fantastic he is. Highly recommend!

Rabbi Eliezer is a professional, thoughtful, and careful Mohel. He gave us all the essential guidance, led the ceremony with grace, stayed after to make sure we know how to treat the baby, and kept supporting us thereafter via the phone. We highly recommend on him!

Rabbi Lawrence is an exceptional mohel. He answered all our questions, provided a meaningful service, and gave great aftercare instructions. He was accessible to us before and after the bris and was thoughtful in honoring our values as he performed the service. Highly recommend.

Huge thanks to Rabbi Eliezer Lawrence for his care and attention, from our first phone call months ago through to his incredibly skillful facilitation of the ceremony—not just the milah itself, but every aspect. In fact, several of our friends came up to us after the ceremony and complimented him specifically. Brit milah was nerve-wracking for these new parents, but we felt safe and confident with our son in your hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Rabbi Lawrence to any parents who are looking for a mohel!

Rabbi Lawrence was exactly what I was looking for in a mohel. Professional, respectful and accepting of unique circumstances, flexible and communicative throughout the whole process. He also does accurate and good quality work (without too much detail here…) which is obviously of primary concern during a Bris. I would use his services again if needed both as a kind human being, a professional and as a talented mohel.

"We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence for anyone looking for a compassionate, competant and kind mohel! The Rabbi spoke to me at length making me feel very comfortable before my son was born and even changed his plans when my son arrived a month early. We are very grateful for the experience we had!"

Rabbi Eliezer is the best! He was patient, explained all the details of the ceremony and aftercare for our little guy. He conducted the ceremony beautifully, in a way that felt true to our family. He also checked in and made sure our baby was healing. I highly recommend Rabbi Eliezer!

Searching for a mohel can add to a couple’s already stressful, new beginning when leaving the hospital. From our first call Rabbi Lawrence truly assuaged any anxiety we had, giving us confidence in the next steps of our child’s life, which was, frankly, an invaluable feeling no one else could provide at such vulnerable stage. From the beginning Rabbi Lawrence was courteous, clear-cut, and very respectful of traditions. Moreover, when unsure of certain traditional aspects of the bris, Rabbi Lawrence was able give background on his various experiences, respectfully allowing us to choose which would be most comfortable to us.
Even with another bris the same day, in a location far away, Rabbi Lawrence was able to make the time for us.
The idea of a mohel conjures up images of an older world style. Rabbi Lawrence gives you those traditions with a modern touch. Whether through call or text, his communication before as well as after the bris was not something you find with other mohels. We really felt comfortable texting him at any point with any concerns we had, whether pictures or general questions.
Similarly his after-care instructions (You and your child will be so appreciative of them!) were not something we found with other mohels, whose responsibility usually ends with the bris. He was patient and took the time to make sure we understood them.
For many, being a mohel is a secondary profession, however, Rabbi Lawrence specializes in this daily (not to mention his long list of reputable training).
And though we never thought we would share such strong feelings toward any mohel, should the opportunity arise again B”H there is no question at all he is the one we will be calling, and we encourage you to do the same.
We are forever grateful to him.

Rabbi Lawrence knows his craft. His confidence in what he does made us confident in trusting him. Highly recommended.

Rabbi Lawrence performed my son’s bris, and we could not have been happier with him. He conducted himself with the utmost professionalism, walked us through everything that was going to happen, and thoroughly explained the aftercare procedures. During the ceremony he was super personable and made the ceremony easy to understand for all who attended regardless of religious affiliation. He was so warm and inviting, and it was exactly what we needed for the day. I would absolutely recommend Rabbi Lawrence to any one of my family or friends, and I would definitely use him again in the future.

We loved working with Rabbi Lawrence. Not only was he professional, pleasant, and very knowledgeable and competent, but he made the procedure deeply meaningful for a small gathering of two scared parents and grandparents across the religious spectrum.

Rabbi Lawrence was the perfect mohel for our special bris. Prior to the bris, he was available at any time to discuss what to expect and cater the ceremony to our needs. He was also very respectful of covid and religious preferences. During the bris, he arrived early to help us prepare, talked us through what to expect, and performed a beautiful, poetic ceremony full of song and celebration. His procedure was done very quickly, and the results have been excellent. He provided detailed aftercare instructions and was available on multiple occasions to check in and view pictures to ensure everything was healing well. He also followed up at the two month mark with helpful instructions as our baby grows. I couldn’t be happier with our choice as Rabbi Lawrence for our mohel. If you’re looking for a gentle soul, a communicative expert in the craft, and a spiritual leader in the ceremony, he is your guy!

Rabbi Lawrence was a pleasure to work with and I'm really glad to have connected with him. I found him to be patient and readily accessible to answer questions/concerns leading up to the bris and in follow up. If you're reading the positive reviews here and visited his website, they're definitely accurate. One can see he is fully invested in being accommodating and making things a success. The bris itself was expertly done and healed great! Rabbi Lawrence ensured that our son had a safe and meaningful bris ceremony. I highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence to anyone looking for a skilled, halachic Mohel that will also be kind and compassionate to all!

My wife and I were looking for a mohel who would be professional and safety-conscious and could also imbue the bris with an atmosphere of spirituality and community. We couldn’t have found a more perfect mohel than Rabbi Lawrence. Not only did he meet all of our needs and expectations, but he also showed remarkable poise under the pressure of an unexpected time delay, adding beautiful singing and helpful explanations for our guests while we waited. He provided exceptional care by visiting us and our son before and after the bris, by patiently explaining us the aftercare instructions, and by being available to us for any questions by phone or text. We are so happy with our decision to include Rabbi Lawrence in this momentous occasion in our son’s life!

Rabbi Lawrence was very professional and did a wonderful job with our baby boy’s ceremony. Not only was the prayer service well done, he accommodated many if not all of our requests and accommodations for the day. More importantly, he kept us calm when we were very nervous and anxious about the whole process on the day of and kept in touch afterwards for all post circumcision needs. We recommend him highly.

We are so grateful we chose Rabbi Lawrence as the Mohel for our son. Rabbi Lawrence led a beautiful Bris that honored Jewish traditions and which we will always remember. Rabbi Lawrence was attentive to our needs and questions and diligently followed up with us after the ceremony. I highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence.

My husband and I could not have been happier with our son’s Brit Milah with Rabbi Lawrence. Not only was the ceremony done so beautifully and professionally but he was so easy to talk to and answered all of our worries and questions leading up to the day. His calm and easy going demeanor definitely helped us feel at ease during an otherwise stressful day. We were very impressed with how thorough he was and how detailed he was in his after care instructions and I would highly recommend him to any friend that asked!

We cannot recommend Rabbi Lawrence strongly enough! He conducted a warm and beautiful ceremony, and performed the procedure efficiently, all with compassion, humility and professionalism. He made himself most available both before and afterwards, and our son has been recovering well. Very thankful to have found him and wish him all success!

Rabbi Eliezer Lawrence was great! We wholeheartedly recommend him as a mohel. The way he officiated the bris was thoughtful, meaningful and sensitive. His surgical work was commended by our pediatrician and his thorough after care instructions and responsiveness to questions made us feel at ease throughout.

Rabbi Lawrence was absolutely outstanding! He is so incredibly passionate about what he does and about making the Bris meaningful and rememberable. To be honest, both my husband and I were very nervous about the procedure, as this was our first, but, Rabbi Lawrence put us at ease and made us feel totally comfortable and calm every step of the way. He made himself available to us leading up to the Bris, any time of day, and always answered all of our questions in a timely manner. He is compassionate and lovely to work with from start to finish. The ceremony was intimate and beautiful, and he took his time educating us on care, afterwards. He even had us check in with him for several days following the Bris to ensure that we were all doing well. Most importantly, he did a beautiful job with the circumcision - even our pediatrician commented on how excellent of a job he did. We couldn’t have made a better decision - thank you Rabbi Lawrence!

Thank you for the positive experience. The rabbi was was very professional and caring. He was there to answer any questions on after care.

When we were introduced to Rabbi Lawrence and spoke with him over the phone we immediately knew he was the Mohel for us. Our Covid conscience ceremony exceeded our expectations. Rabbi Lawrence is very organized and thorough from beginning to end and onward. He has an incredible voice and made everyone feel at ease with traditional songs after the circumcision was performed. His after care instructions made this FTM feel confident and his phone calls and texts let us know he truly cares. Thank you for being a part of the most important moment in our sons life. We highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence .

Rabbi Eliezer perform the Brith on our son in the most professional and caring way possible. We are very happy from Rabbi Eliezer and we strongly recommend him. He is a professional and also very gentle and explaining every step, making you feel safe and that you are with good hands. Thank you Rabbi for being there with us in our special day!

Rabbi Lawrence was amazing. He's very detailed and thorough. We loved working with him and can't recommend him enough.

Rabbi Lawrence was an EXCELLENT mohel! Exactly what we were looking for. The bris was during Covid, and Rabbi Lawrence expertly balanced our family needs and what we wanted for the bris, while also making sure to keep everyone safe. He helped to engage the few people we had in person, as well as all of those on zoom, framing the bris ceremony through word and song. He was gentle with our son, and reassuring to those who were nervous. He helped us prepare beforehand, gave us detailed aftercare instructions, and was always available when we had questions. I can't recommend him highly enough!

We are really happy we picked Rabbi Lawrence as our mohel! He was very friendly and professional throughout the experience. Everything went smoothly and he had a beautiful singing voice that was calming us as well as our child. A cherry on the top was him speaking to my dad in Jiddish over Zoom. Highly recommend!

Rabbi Eliezer did an amazing job with our sons Brit Milah. I highly recommend him! His does a great service and easily walked us through aftercare instructions. He also has done several members of my family since and everyone has had a very positive experience.

Rabbi Lawrence was incredible as the Mohel for the bris of our son. He was caring, thoughtful and extremely thorough in his approach. He had several phone calls with us to walk us through everything about the process and ensure we had the comfort level we needed. He also made sure to get to know us in advance of the ceremony and incorporate our individual requests and character into the service itself. He is someone we would recommend to anyone.

My wife and I were very lucky to have Rabbi Lawrence perform the bris on our son. Rabbi Lawrence took the utmost care in preparing our family for the circumcision, provided detailed safety and hygiene advice and instructions, and was always available for follow up questions. Rabbi Lawrence also went out of his way to accommodate our requests on location and working with our community Rabbi. During the bris itself, Rabbi Lawrence made the ceremony special for everyone in attendance through song and sharing the meaning of blessings. We highly recommend using Rabbi Lawrence as a Mohel.

We found Rabbi Lawrence because we were looking for a more personalized and spiritual experience for our son. I wanted to be able to be present for the procedure so I could be there to sooth him immediately after. Even though we are not Jewish, I sought out a qualified Rabbi for a home visit because I believe in the Jewish tradition’s wisdom of performing the bris on the 8th day. I was struck by the excellent caliber of reviews that Rabbi Lawrence had received from parents — specifically that several of them mentioned their pediatricians commending his skill level. I'm happy to share for nervous parents out there that our pediatrician made the exact same observation of his superior skill level! The entire process went smoothly and our little guy barely cried during the procedure itself. I was able to hold him right after and he stopped crying right away. Rabbi Lawrence walked us through aftercare and made it clear we could always reach out for any concerns or questions. Our doctor said his aftercare instructions were exceptional. He healed amazingly and I am SO pleased with the results. I wish every parent and child could have the same skillful and supportive experience. Rabbi Lawrence is amazing!!!

Rabbi Lawrence performed the bris for our son during the COVID pandemic in 2020. We can attest to the quality and thoughtfulness of Rabbi Lawrence's care rooted in procedural safety protocols, COVID safety protocols, incorporation of song into ritual and a traditionally grounded religious outlook.

Following our initial outreach, Rabbi Lawrence was kind enough to block time on his calendar for a potential bris a month in advance of our anticipated due date. In the weeks leading up to the due date, Rabbi Lawrence speedily replied to our emails and exercised nothing but patience in response to all of our questions. On the day of bris, Rabbi Lawrence did the procedure for our son with care, administered a moving ritual service, and provided clear instructions for post-bris care.

Rabbi Lawrence devotes considerable thoughtfulness and attention to a post-procedural regimen that ensures a child's well-being. We took great comfort in Rabbi Lawrence's clear instructions, and Rabbi Lawrence FaceTimed and phoned us multiple times over the subsequent weeks to ensure recovery proceeded as expected.

Thanks to Rabbi Lawrence, our son had a safe bris, and we will carry the memories of a moving ritual service for a lifetime."

Rabbi Lawrence did a wonderful job at our son's bris and we would highly recommend him to other parents. We held the bris via Zoom, and he was able to make it a warm and inviting event for everyone. (He also followed all Covid-related precautions.) The circumcision itself was done with skill and Rabbi Lawrence gave clear after care instructions and was available for any questions we had.

Rabbi Lawrence is the ultimate professional! Prior to the birth of our son, the Rabbi made us feel super comfortable and safe - answering ALL of our questions (especially given our concerns around COVID). During the bris the Rabbi did an amazing job and spoke beautifully to our Zoom attendees. Post bris, the Rabbi has made himself fully accessible to answer all our questions as our son continues to heal. Highly recommend!

"Fantastic! I am so happy I found Rabbi Lawrence. We were very pleased with the service he provided for us and our son. He made us feel comfortable and well informed before, during, and after. He was gentle and showed true skill! As a first time mom I had a lot of questions and concerns. Rabbi Lawrence was always available to answer any of my questions and with his experience and naturally calm demeanor, my worries went away. We absolutely recommend him to other parents. Thank you, Rabbi!"

"Wonderful, and he can sing too!"

"Rabbi Eliezer Lawrence is an exceptional mohel! Because our son's bris took place during COVID-19, we wanted to be sure that we were doing everything we could to keep ourselves and our newborn safe and healthy. Rabbi Lawrence took the time to speak with us at length prior to the bris, and he made it very clear that both our and his own health and safety were of great importance to him. When the day of the actual bris came, we felt extremely safe and comfortable with Rabbi Lawrence being in our apartment and performing our son's bris.

Not only did Rabbi Lawrence perform our son's bris, he did so with great care and passion. His singing voice is beautiful and his words were beautiful. In terms of technique, Rabbi Lawrence is careful and incredibly thorough. After the bris, he made sure to teach my husband and me how to care for our son so that he healed properly (which he did!).

Thank you, Rabbi Lawrence! If you are looking for a mohel to perform your son's bris, we cannot recommend Rabbi Lawrence enough!"

"We are all very pleased with the service Rabbi Lawrence provided for us and our son Jacob. He was very gentle and caring and took his time with Jacob and made us all feel very comfortable we highly would recommend his services and appreciate everything he has done."

Rabbi Lawrence is the ultimate professional! Prior to the birth of our son, the Rabbi made us feel super comfortable and safe - answering ALL of our questions (especially given our concerns around COVID). During the bris the Rabbi did an amazing job and spoke beautifully to our Zoom attendees. Post bris, the Rabbi has made himself fully accessible to answer all our questions as our son continues to heal. Highly recommend!

"Rabbi Lawrence helped me think through every aspect of the ceremony for our twins. We had a bris and a separate ceremony (zeved ha-bat) for our daughter. It was very moving despite the limitations of zoom.

His follow up about the bris in the weeks that followed was comforting in the extreme. Can’t recommend highly enough."

Rabbi Eliezer Lawrence was a fantastic mohel. He made us feel comfortable and safe, both in terms of the bris and in terms of the precautions he made sure to take during this pandemic. We knew our son was in great hands and Rabbi Lawrence's instructions and support during aftercare were very helpful and he was there for all our post-bris, sleep-deprived questions. He was awesome.

Rabbi Eliezer Lawrence is a talented, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable mohel. From the initial phone conversation through the aftercare/healing process, he demonstrated professionalism, passion for his work, and deep insight. As first-time parents, we had many questions, and he patiently answered them (sometimes, a few times, when we needed reassurance!). His facilitation of the ceremony itself was accessible to our non-observant relatives, and deeply meaningful for us as Orthodox Jews. Rabbi Lawrence's soothing voice and calming demeanor positively impacted us and our baby. It was clear that safety and comfort were Rabbi Lawrence's top priorities, and all parts of the circumcision were performed with sterile technique. The circumcision itself was quick, and our baby barely cried. We appreciated how clear and thorough Rabbi Lawrence's aftercare instructions were, as well as his vigilance with regard to monitoring the healing process. We highly recommend him. Thank you so much!

Rabbi Lawrence was a pleasure to work with! He led the service in a very heartfelt way, showing great care to our baby and family. He was incredible with follow-up instructions as well as answering all our questions, post-bris. We'd strongly recommend using him as he made the day special and the weeks after stress-free.

My wife and I wanted to have a small gathering at our apartment and Rabbi Lawrence was perfect. He came to meet with us in person and meet our baby before the actual bris. He was nice, friendly, down to earth, and great about communication.

The bris itself was wonderful and meaningful. He ran a great ceremony and was very considerate of special requests we had for our family. Aside from the ceremony, the circumcision itself was fast and skillfully done. Rabbi Lawrence's expertise as a mohel was apparent.

Even after the ceremony, he remained involved to make sure our son was healing well. Furthermore, he offered his resources in the city to help us get connected to a Jewish community by providing personal recommendations, encouraging us to contact him anytime.

We would highly recommend Rabbi Lawrence if you're looking for a mohel.

Rabbi Lawrence is a caring and skilled Mohel. He worked with us to ensure that we were comfortable with every detail of the service and that the event was meaningful and beautiful for our whole family.

"Had Bris during covid at the GP Shul and was extremely happy with Rabbi Lawrence's sterile technique and thorough follow up. He was also very responsive with our questions and concerns. The ceremony itself was very special as his gentle spirit enhanced the experience. I would recommend Rabbi Lawrence without hesitation or reservation."

Rabbi Lawrence performed my twins Brit Milah about two weeks ago, he was very warm and sincere. He came by our house to check both babies, arrived at the location of the Brit to set up before we arrived, stayed with the babies after the ceremony to ensure they were good unlike some mohels that leave immediately after and then came to our house again the day after to check the boys again. He is very professional and sweet and I like that he did everything very sterile and clean. He was very helpful to me via text and phone calls for the first few days after to answer all my crazy worried mother concerns and made me feel extremely comfortable and calm about the healing process. He even called me a few days ago to check up on my boys which I thought was very thoughtful of him. I would recommend him 100% to anyone looking for a nurturing caring mohel. Thank you again rabbi Lawrence!

We feel so blessed to have found Rabbi Lawrence to act as moyel for our son’s bris...on a yontiv! From our first conversation we felt that we were in good hands and nothing changed that good opinion. He came by our home a few days prior to the bris for a quick visit to check in on our newborn and also did a follow up a few days later. It was really nice to be able to meet him prior to the stressful day of our ceremony and helped put us more at ease. He was accepting of our wishes and worked with our rabbi to perform a beautiful ritual service. Rabbi Lawrence’s warm demeanor and guidance as well as obvious skill in the procedure itself were clear and our son is doing great! We can’t recommend him more highly!

My wife and I were looking for a mohel who would be professional and safety-conscious and could also imbue the bris with an atmosphere of spirituality and community. We couldn’t have found a more perfect mohel than Rabbi Lawrence. Not only did he meet all of our needs and expectations, but he also showed remarkable poise under the pressure of an unexpected time delay, adding beautiful singing and helpful explanations for our guests while we waited. He provided exceptional care by visiting us and our son before and after the bris, by patiently explaining us the aftercare instructions, and by being available to us for any questions by phone or text. We are so happy with our decision to include Rabbi Lawrence in this momentous occasion in our son’s life!

Rabbi Lawrence was wonderful and made us feel so at ease through this process and at the Bris itself. He was incredibly competent, both in technical abilities and spiritual leadership and we highly recommend him as a Mohel.
