Milah without periah

Question:

 I have heard a lot of controversy surrounding the covenant of brit milah and specifically how it is to be performed. As I understand, the covenant as it is performed today consists of two parts: milah and periah, with milah consisting of the cut itself and periah the peeling of the membrane. There are some who say that periah was not added until after the Bar Kokhba revolt. It is also assumed that it is possible to perform milah without periah as in the saying, if one does milah without periah, it is as though he did not do milah. My question is, what does such a circumcision look like? How is it possible to remove the foreskin without performing periah? And is there any evidence that this was added? Your insight will be very much appreciated.

Answer:

Well done for paying attention to such an important thing.

Indeed, lately, there are those who dare to question the mitzvahs of the torah and supposedly claim that it is possible to circumcise without periah. It is important to know that the mitzva of circumcision according to Jewish law is solely with the commandments of the disorder, and a milah without periah is not a kosher milah at all, and there is no dispute in it.

The mitzvot of periah was given to the people of Israel to Moshe at Sinai, and was not renewed in any way in the Bar Kochva revolt. In the Gemara in (yevamot 71’a) Sais, that already at the time of Joshua ben Nun became periah as part of the observance of the circumcision commandment.

It is important to know that those mohels in the United States who do not periah are not kosher mohels at all. They learned in front of the institutes that taught them against the rules of the torah, as the gentiles da a milah without periah, but this milah is not a milah according to torah.

Therefore, it is a complete duty to take only Mohel as the tradition of the jews, and was ordained by an Orthodox rabbi who knows and knows that the Mohel as a religion and lawfully.
