      The ritual, known as the metzitzah b’peh, is a type of circumcision in which the person performing the procedure, or mohel, directly places his mouth on and sucks the blood from the baby’s newly circumcised penis.

      The controversial ritual came under intense scrutiny earlier this year after health officials reported 11 babies had contracted herpes infections between 2000 and 2011.

      “By telling a mohel he is prohibited from performing a religious ritual unless he tells the parents that, by the way, the child might die in the process, you are forcing us to say something which we are convinced is wrong,” said Rabbi David Niederman of the Brooklyn-based United Jewish Organization of Williamsburg.
