Jewish males who aren't circumcised are prohibited from participating in many religious holidays and rituals. They are seen as having been cut off from the Nation of Israel.
In cases where Jewish men weren't circumcised because of government persecution (former USSR), as soon as they reached a country with religious freedom, they had their circumcision done. Obviously, it's much easier to do this as a baby than a grown man.
Good question! You need to talk to him about it. If he doesn't want to get circumcised, break up with him and find a circumcised Jewish man. However, it depends on the reason as to why he isn't circumcised. If the reason he isn't circumcised is because he was born in the former USSR where circumcision was banned, exceptions were made for those who chose not to be circumcised after they had the opportunity.
If this is a major issue for you, you may want to speak to your rabbi. In truth, less than 5% of Jewish men worldwide are not circumcised so it's not a common issue.
