If I were Jewish my faith might (read: MIGHT) dictate that ALL of the risks were worth the procedure (somehow I doubt this, but I have no idea what I would think if I were Jewish) but I have read more than one post on other boards from Jews who are now choosing not to circumcise.
The point here is, now you're reduced to jeering. This is what always happens when people can't think of anything more intelligent to say in a debate.

I'm also Jewish, and I do the same
My husband is not Jewish, and we celebrate all holidays. My mother's side of the family is Jewish and my dad's is not. We are just one big interfaith family!

My jewish boyfriends (two) were the
most attractive and witty of all; one an ortho doctor and the other had just gone into early retirement after selling a huge publishing company! Wish I had THAT hand to play over!
I watch it too and I'm Jewish. :)

I am Jewish but can tell you that King..sm
while the New Testament doesn't have everything older that the Old Testament has, the Christian Bible that I also have, the King Jame's version of The Holy Bible, does, indeed, have the 5 Books of Moses from the Old Testament! Just FYI. 
Katherine Helmond? Don't know that she is Jewish

My sister (lapsed Catholic) and brother-in-law (Jewish)
don't seem to have had any problems -- they celebrate Xmas/Hannukah and Easter/Passover with the kids; if anything, it's my sister who's the more proactive one in making sure they celebrate Jewish holidays. This has led to such amusing moments as the one at their seder earlier this year, in which sis asked BIL a question about something in the Haggadah, and he said, "honey, how would I know? You're the good Jew in the family."
No problems with parents on either side -- heck, I think I always disappointed my parents by failing to marry a nice Jewish boy like my sister did, and my BIL's parents are actually an interfaith couple themselves.
You're just a Scrooge, that's all. Read Jewish Moms post above.
