זו הפעם השנייה שאנחנו משתמשים ברב גלנץ כמוהל, ושוב חווינו שירות מצוין. הוא היה מקצועי, מסודר ואכפתי מהרגע הראשון, עם הסברים ברורים וזמינות מלאה לכל שאלה. הכול התנהל בצורה רגועה, נקייה ומאורגנת מאוד. הכי חשוב — היחס החם והמרגיע שלו לתינוק נתן לנו הרבה שקט וביטחון לאורך כל התהליך. אנחנו מאוד מרוצים וממליצים עליו בחום.
I am very pleased to share my experience with Rabbi Glantz—this is the second time I have used his services, and once again, he was absolutely fabulous. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and extremely thorough. All of my questions were answered in detail, including clear and helpful aftercare instructions provided in advance so everything was well-prepared and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout. Rabbi Glantz responded immediately whenever I reached out, and his answers were always complete and reassuring. He also arrived on time, which I greatly appreciated. The environment was exceptionally clean, sterile, and well organized, which gave me full confidence that my son was in safe, experienced, and capable hands. Most importantly, Rabbi Glantz showed genuine care, kindness, and attentiveness toward my newborn. His calm, professional manner made the entire experience very reassuring. As a returning client, I can confidently say his consistency and level of care are outstanding. I would highly recommend Rabbi Glantz without hesitation. He is the best!
Excellent job at our sons Bris! We had an amazing experience and couldn’t recommend more highly

Alec Krosser
“Rabbi Howard Gantz was a pleasure to work with!! I really appreciate it his communication leading up to the day of the bris. We reached out approximately one month before our son was born and he made the whole process simple and easy. He is always available by phone or text and answered all of our questions leading up to the bris. He explained everything thoroughly, was prepared and punctual, and made the ceremony very special! Everything was clean and sterile. Will definitely recommend him in the future to our friends and family!”

What does a bris cost? How are fees handled?+
"Cost should not be a factor in choosing a mohel. Let no amount stand between a family and a bris." — the words of Rabbi Glantz's teacher, Dr. Jacob Shragowitz, which Rabbi Glantz holds as his own.
From the very start of his practice in New York in the winter of 1991, Rabbi Glantz has never set actual fees. When a family doesn't already have a sense of the going rate for a mohel, he is glad to give some guidance and discuss it in greater detail. Families typically take into consideration the time spent with them and any travel costs involved.
Whatever is given is usually offered on the day of the bris — though Rabbi Glantz does not wait with his hand out. Something can always be mailed afterward or given during a follow-up visit. Cash, Zelle, Venmo, and personal checks are accepted. If one needs to use a credit card, that can be worked out through PayPal.
When an overnight stay or unusually long travel is required, Rabbi Glantz may suggest an appropriate amount. And when parking is challenging, please reserve a space for him if you can — he'll be bringing a few things in and out, and being parked close makes that much easier.
I'm expecting and we don't want to know the gender. Should we call and discuss things with Rabbi Glantz even though we might have a girl?+
Now that we have spoken once, when should we call again?+
