The easiest way to tell if someone is circumcised is to look at their flaccid (soft) penis. In uncircumcised men the pink head of the penis will be covered by the foreskin. In circumcised men, the pink head of the penis will be visible when soft since the foreskin has been removed. It's generally assumed that most Jewish males are circumcised on the 8th day after being born. However some Jews may not be circumcised for a variety of reasons. For babies who are premature or are born with health problems, circumcision is usually delayed because of the increased risk of complications. Jews were not circumcised in the Soviet Union because the communist government did not allow religion. Some reform Jewish congregations also no longer require circumcision of infants due to the ethical concerns of removing part of the infant's genitals.
