The vast majority of Jewish males are circumcised. It is usually done on the eighth day after birth.
However, there are a small number of Jews who are NOT circumcised. Two new anti-circumcision Jewish organizations called Brit Shalom and Jews Against Circumcision have come into existence, and there are SOME synagogues - mostly Reform - that "allow" this. These groups represent a small fringe group of Jews, mostly non-religious Jews.
Another example is in the former Communist Soviet Union, the practice of all religions - including Judaism - was banned, so no boys and men could be circumcised. After the end of Communism, most Jews returned to practicing the faith, and many of these boys and men were uncircumcised. However, many of those who escaped to countries with freedom of religion chose to be circumcised. Today, many Jewish men who have moved from Russia to Israel have chosen to be circumcised too.
