Yes, however, non-circumcised men are prohibited from participating in certain mitzvot and ceremonies. Some Orthodox groups require posthumous circumcision for the person to be buried in Orthodox cemeteries.

What is the meaning of uncircumcised in the bible?

Strictly, uncircumcised means still having the prepuce, or foreskin, of one's penis. As a practical matter, the term meant "Not a Jew"; "Not one of us"; an alien, barabarian or no-good person. This is the way David uses it when he asks about Goliath, "Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?"


Is a boy born to a Jewish mother Jewish if he is not circumcised?

Yes. His acquisition of Jewishness occurs at the moment of birth, when he would not yet have been circumcised anyway. Continuing to be uncircumcised is a halakhic (Jewish legal) problem within Judaism, but a person does not forgo their Jewish nature or identity by failing to live up to the halakhah. There are, however, one or two commandments which an uncircumcised Jew may not take part in (such as offering the Passover sacrifice) on account of his failure to get circumcised (assuming it was by choice).

Can a Hindu practice Judaism?

Anyone can attempt to follow Jewish tradition, but to truly practice Judaism, a person must be accepted as part of a Jewish community, and that involves conversion. Someone from a Hindu background who is accepted as a convert is no longer a Hindu, just as someone from a Christian background who is accepted as a convert is no longer a Christian. Once a conversion is complete, the convert is a Jew, who, it is hoped, will practice Judaism.
