[Avodah] Leading Charedi Posek Says metzitza' Should Not

[Dorron Katzin]

Reb Micha,

I am not qualified to analyze the sources for the purpose of determining
whether MBP is, or is not, an integral part of the mitzvah.

It may be that this group has discussed this in the past.  If so, I will
examine the archives when I can.

If not, I suggest that this might be a worthwhile discussion.
