JPost – President Shimon Peres called on German President Joachim Gauck on Thursday to resolve the German legal issues around circumcision, Army Radio reported.
“Circumcision has constituted a central aspect of our nation’s Jewish identity over thousands of years. The value of religious freedom for the Jewish community must be preserved,” Peres wrote Gacuk in a letter. Peres hosted Gauck at the Presidential Residence in May.
