Dear Dr. Kogen,

Renee and I wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible Berit Mila that you performed last Friday for our son Ethan. We have been inundated with compliments on the wonderful job that you did, comments such as "That was the best bris I have ever been to".

Your preparation for the ceremony was meticulous, and your suggestions made the ceremonial table elegant. I have seen other Berit Mila where the Mohel was in and out -- said a few words, a prayer or two, and then did the circumcision. You, on the other hand, turned this into a ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Your sincerity and care echoed from every word you spoke and everything you did. My sister Heidi, who was out of town and missed the Bris, had tears in her eyes as she watched the video.

Finally, I want to state my gratitude for your follow up call to my wife to see how Ethan was doing. This made her feel so at ease.

I will highly recommend you to anyone I know having a son that is desirous of performing the Berit Mila ceremony.
