In this episode of "A Turkish Mosaic," Zeynep gives us a cultural analysis that delves into
the tradition of Sünnet, or male circumcision, in Turkey. They explore its historical and
religious roots in Islam, its cultural significance as a major rite of passage, and the
elaborate ceremonies that mark this event. The discussion highlights the traditional attire
of boys, reminiscent of Ottoman Pashas, and the festive processions and celebrations.

The episode also examines Sünnet as a gendered practice, focusing exclusively on boys
and its implications for gender roles and perceptions in Turkish society. Zeynep provides
us with the psychological and social impacts of this tradition, including the emphasis on
male identity and potential issues of toxic masculinity. They also discuss modern
adaptations and critiques, suggesting ways to balance tradition with contemporary
values to create a more inclusive cultural practice.

Join us for an insightful exploration of this integral yet complex aspect of Turkish heritage.
