NYC man says he's circumcised, online story wrong

NEW YORK -A New York City man is suing a Jewish research group for libel, claiming it posted a story online with his photo that erroneously said he was not circumcised.

John Singer says he was circumcised as an infant. His lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from the Central Europe Center for Research & Documentation and its Centropa.org Web site, which have main offices in Atlanta and in Vienna, Austria.

Singer, 49, says his mother was quoted in an interview for a Centropa article saying her sons weren't circumcised, which would violate Jewish law.

He says he warned Centropa director Edward Serotta the statement was wrong before the article was published in October. He says Centropa humiliated him.

Serotta says he'll comment when he has a New York attorney.

They really crossed the line when they accused him to being not-circumcised. Them devils!

This is silly. "Cut" it out.

Actually, while it's a ridiculous invasion of his privacy, the story is taken a little out of context. According to Orthodox Jewish Law, a circumcision is only considered valid if it is done within the confines of a Bris Milah, performed by a mohel.. he was apparently circumcised by a medical doctor which doesn't meet the requirements of the mitzvah that lays down the rules for a proper circumcision.

Anyway, that's the actual story, and beside the point, and if I were him, I would be furious too that my stuff was being advertised in public.
