The requirement of male circumcision in Judaism and the Tanach (Jewish Bible), is not a law, it's a mitzvah. (Although many people translate the word 'mitzvah' as 'law', a more accurate translation is 'guideline'.) It is a physical recognition and acceptance of the covenant between the Jewish Nation and HaShem (The Creator). In order for a Jewish male to fully participate in all Jewish holidays and rituals, he must be circumcised.
