It is already a routine thing that Dr. Rabbi Yaakov Geisinovich, the mohel of the 'Brit Yosef Yitzhak' organization in Ukraine, receives a call to come and meet a Jew in a remote corner.

This time, a Chabad emissary in Munkács was on the line, who said that upon arriving for a routine Torah reading, it turned out that Baruch had not been circumcised, because he was born in the days when circumcision of a Jewish child was strictly forbidden in the Soviet Union.
The community decided to circumcise him immediately. After the mohel found out by phone that the intended candidate was indeed Jewish without a doubt, he began a cross-border journey to Munkács.
After the outbreak of war in Ukraine, the mohel moved with his family to Vienna, Austria, and now he had to travel about 8 hours to the Hungarian border - and from there to Ukraine.
The location chosen to perform the circumcision was none other than the reception room of the owner of the 'Minchat Eliezer' zt"l, and it was also learned that, at the instruction of the Rebbe himself, a circumcision ceremony for a Jewish child had been performed there in the past.
