History
According to their website, the Initiation Society was founded in 1745. Its aim is to ensure the highest medical and religious standards for bris milah (circumcision) amongst mohelim (practitioners). The Society works closely with the London Beth Din and their mohelim have undergone formal training in the medical and halachic (religious) aspects of bris milah.
