A mohel raised in the mesorah

From a family of mohalim

Rabbi Shaima Goldberg was born into a distinguished family of mohalim and spent the first 25 years of his life in Lakewood, New Jersey. From a young age, he developed a deep interest in bris milah, inspired by his great uncle, Rabbi Mordechai Zimmerman z"l, one of the most renowned and sought-after mohalim of his time.

Under Rabbi Zimmerman's guidance, Rabbi Goldberg was advised to observe the work of numerous experienced mohalim and attend hundreds of brissim, learning best practices and developing the method that suited him best. He then had the privilege of accompanying Rabbi Zimmerman to observe and discuss his techniques in depth, comparing and refining methods along the way.

To gain hands-on experience, he traveled multiple times to Dallas, Texas, to train under Rabbi Michoel Rovinsky of St. Louis, a student of Rabbi Moshe Rappaport of Baltimore, who was a very close disciple of the legendary Yerushalmi mohel, Rabbi Yossele Weisberg.

A first bris he will never forget

Rabbi Goldberg performed his very first bris on his own son, under the close supervision and enthusiastic approval of his great uncle. Since then, he has performed over 750 brissim across a wide variety of communities.

Active in the field since 2002, Rabbi Goldberg has also trained and mentored approximately ten aspiring mohalim, and regularly consults with colleagues to ensure adherence to the highest standards of technique and care.

What sets Rabbi Goldberg apart is his combination of expertise, patience, and personal attention. He gives each family the time, gentle care, and thorough explanations they deserve, from the first phone call through the follow-up visits after the bris.

Every bris is performed al taharas hakodesh, according to the highest halacha standards.
