Aron Wiess goes everywhere.

Some days he has a few and he travels all day.

I never heard him taking money but last time we gave him 300 dollars.

To the above posters- what areas do you live in? NY is big- mohels will travel from rockland county to Long Island for example?

R Ephraim Pearlstein, based in Far Rockaway is great. We live locally but I think he travels all over NY. He called me before and after the bris to see how the baby was doing. He was trained by Rabbi Paysach Krohn his father in law.

His number is (646) 346-0269

Any of the Mozes brothers.
Yes, they travel all over the NY/NJ area and more probably.
I've used both when one of them were already booked..
Below is the website of one of them - he does hospital brissim too

He didn't give a price.
We paid what we wanted

I used Rabbi Hepner for my sons. He's NY and Tri-state based. Www.imohel.com
He was fantastic!

Yes. We used the previous rabbi Moses for my older sons and his son Nissim for my last two sons.
My husband had senior rabbi Moses as his mohel!
I’ve had only good experiences

Many people I know use Katzenstein family as well and are very happy!

Moses is based in NJ now and Katzenstein is based in Washington heights
Most mohels travel

We usually paid about $5-800 if I recall correctly

We had a wonderful young man, friend of DH, named Ahron Ackerman. He's from Far Rockaway but traveled to a different tri-state area to do our bris.

Dh wanted his friend to do the job but I was nervous about having a very young mohel, all the brissim in my family had much older mohelim. So we made a compromise - Rabbi Ackerman did the bris but I hired a very experienced mohel to be there, check the baby before and after, and observe. This objective third party said our young mohel did a superb job in every way. He was efficient, the baby barely cried at all, and healed beautifully. And he was very responsive to all my questions and concerns as a first time mom.

He's done more jobs since ours so he's not as new anymore. He still looks like a teenager though so I'm sharing this reassurance in case anyone here uses him, he looks young but is an A+ qualified mohel.

R Chaim stefansky from Bensonhurst is a very professional and experienced mohel I used him for all my boys he is doing brisim for over 30 years and a lot of the famous mohalim go to him to watch him I am almost sure that he travels the TRI state area and he is very nice and easy with check ups before and after the bris

I have a relative who used him and said that he never took any money from anyone for doing a bris even if you insist to pay him

Riznitzky (I’m not sure how to spell..)

He’s from Passaic NJ but travels (I used him in Monsey)

He was amazing, did a fantastic job. Multiple people at the Bris commented on how great he was actually. He was also so easy to work with, was really involved before and after.

I don’t know what his “going” rate is, because we just paid him the amount we wanted to pay so I didn’t even think to find out

Nissim is in Lakewood
Baruch is in Monsey
And there is a 3rd brother.

None of my brissim were in Monsey/Lakewood.
They both traveled.
