Circumcision in prison
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's assassin celebrated the birth of his son with a circumcision ceremony inside his heavily guarded prison Sunday, the 12th anniversary of the former leader's death. Yigal Amir, an Orthodox Jew, shot Rabin dead after a peace rally Nov. 4, 1995, because he opposed the prime minister's policy of ceding land for peace with the Palestinians. Amir was sentenced to life in prison and has been held in isolation since. But over the past year, he has been permitted conjugal visits with his wife, Larissa Trimbobler, whom he married while in prison. The boy was born last week, and according to Jewish tradition, a healthy Jewish male is circumcised eight days after his birth. Israeli media said the boy was named Yinon Elia Shalom Amir.
