In-Home Newborn Circumcision in Akron, OH
You have just brought your son home. There is no reason to pack him back into a car seat. Rabbi Tzvi Fischer, a certified seventh-generation mohel, comes to you — to your own living room in Akron — for a calm, unhurried newborn circumcision, with your baby in your arms the whole time.
Gentle circumcision care across Akron and Summit County
Most Akron babies take their first breath at the Summa Health Akron Campus Birthing Center on East Market Street or at Cleveland Clinic Akron General, with Akron Children’s neonatologists close at hand. Whichever hospital your family chooses, the drive home is the part that matters to us: once you are back on your own street — in Highland Square, Firestone Park, Merriman Valley, Goodyear Heights, Ellet, West Hill, or out in Fairlawn, Copley, Bath, Tallmadge, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Hudson, Green, or Barberton — we come to you.
In-Home Circumcision is a national practice built on a simple idea: a newborn circumcision belongs in a quiet, familiar room, not a clinic corridor. Rabbi Fischer travels to families across the country, and Akron sits in the heart of the Northeast Ohio corridor he serves regularly. Whether you are planning a traditional bris with blessings and a baby naming, or a simple medical circumcision with no ceremony at all, the visit is unhurried, private, and arranged around your family’s schedule — not a waiting room’s.

Akron circumcision questions
Do you travel to Akron and the surrounding area?
Yes. We come to you anywhere in Greater Akron — Highland Square, Firestone Park, Merriman Valley, Goodyear Heights, Ellet, West Hill, Kenmore and downtown — as well as Fairlawn, Copley, Bath, Tallmadge, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Hudson, Green, Barberton and the wider Summit County area. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, just ask; it almost certainly is.
Can you perform a bris in Akron?
Yes. Rabbi Fischer is a certified, seventh-generation mohel and performs traditional brisim in Akron homes, including the blessings and a baby naming, with family and friends present. He also performs simple, straightforward medical circumcisions with no ceremony for families of any background or faith. Both receive the same careful, unhurried attention.
How soon after birth can the circumcision be done?
Most in-home circumcisions take place in the first one to four weeks after birth, once your baby is feeding well and at a healthy weight. For a traditional bris, the eighth day is customary. The right timing for your son is confirmed together during your free consultation.
How do we book?
Request a free consultation. We will talk through your questions, your preferences and your baby’s timing, confirm the date and the full cost in writing, and only then schedule the visit to your home. There is no obligation and no charge for the consultation.
Expecting in the Akron area?
Let’s talk before your son arrives. A short, no-pressure conversation now means one less thing to arrange in those first quiet weeks at home.
