SERVING OHIO
Mohel in Ohio — A Bris at Home
Ohio has the most evenly spread Jewish population of the four states we serve — three substantial communities rather than one dominant metro, which means where you are genuinely changes the conversation.
Ohio's three communities
Cleveland → — about 93,000 Jewish residents, the largest community in any state we serve, concentrated on the east side around Beachwood.
Cincinnati → — roughly 32,000, centred on Amberley Village, with one of the longest continuous Jewish histories of any American city away from the east coast.
Columbus → — around 27,000 and growing, centred on Bexley.
Together that is over 150,000 people across three metros that are each a couple of hours from the others, which is why Ohio has its own page rather than being folded into a single city.
Smaller communities in Akron, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown we also serve. Youngstown is worth a specific note: it sits about an hour from Pittsburgh, which we also travel to, so Mahoning Valley families sometimes have more dates available than the distance from Michigan would suggest. Always worth asking what is already on the calendar.
Ohio is a planned trip — and the eighth day is not
Every Ohio city is a planned journey for us from the Detroit area rather than something we fit around a day. Set that against the rule that governs a bris — it is on the eighth day, counted from the birth, and it does not move — and the conclusion is the same in all three metros: the booking window is the only part with any give, and it closes.
Call when you have a due date. Families who do essentially always get their date; families who call on day three sometimes find the week committed several hundred miles away.
Travel is quoted upfront, before you decide anything.
If your son is not well on the eighth day, the bris waits — jaundice, prematurity, low weight or illness all postpone it, and his health comes first in plain terms.

Ohio bris questions
Which Ohio cities do you come to for a bris?
Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati most often, and Akron, Dayton, Toledo, Youngstown and Canton as well. Tell us the town and the date.
We are in a small Ohio town with no synagogue. Can you still come?
Yes. There is no minimum community size, and plenty of the families we visit have no local congregation at all.
How much notice do you need in Ohio?
As much as possible, ideally before the birth. Every Ohio city is a planned trip, and the eighth day cannot be moved to suit a drive.
What it costs, wherever you are
A $980 professional fee, plus travel expenses. The fee does not change by city; travel does, and it is quoted upfront before you commit to anything.
Not sure which page applies to you?
Tell us the town and the due date and we will give you a straight answer, including when the answer is that someone closer is the better fit.
