Responsa sobre Shabbat 19:6

אֵלּוּ הֵן צִיצִין הַמְעַכְּבִין אֶת הַמִּילָה, בָּשָׂר הַחוֹפֶה אֶת רֹב הָעֲטָרָה. וְאֵינוֹ אוֹכֵל בַּתְּרוּמָה. וְאִם הָיָה בַעַל בָּשָׂר, מְתַקְּנוֹ מִפְּנֵי מַרְאִית הָעָיִן. מָל וְלֹא פָרַע אֶת הַמִּילָה, כְּאִלּוּ לֹא מָל:

Estos son los tzitzin [hebras de carne que quedan del prepucio] que (si permanecen) invalidan milah: carne que cubre la mayor parte de la corona. Y él (uno con tal tzitzin) no come terumah [si fuera un Cohein. Para un Cohein incircunciso está prohibido comer terumah, está escrito con respecto a la ofrenda de Pesaj (Éxodo 12:45): "Un extranjero y un hombre contratado no pueden comer de él", y, con respecto a terumah, (Levítico 22 : 10): "El extranjero con un Cohein y su hombre contratado no pueden comer lo sagrado"—Así como la ofrenda de Pesaj está prohibida para alguien que no está circuncidado, así es, terumah.] Y si fuera gordo, [de modo que después de que se haya eliminado todo el prepucio, el órgano todavía parece estar cubierto por carne], se corrige [ es decir, el grosor se reduce con el cuchillo] debido a "apariencias" [es decir, para que no parezca incircunciso]. Si estaba circuncidado, pero la milah no estaba expuesta (tirando hacia abajo de la membrana), es como si no hubiera sido circuncidado, [y debe regresar y exponerlo, incluso si se hubiera retirado. Y mientras esté involucrado en la circuncisión en Shabat, él corta tanto a los tzitzin que invalidan a Milah como a los que no. Después de retirarse, regresa por invalidar tzitzin pero no por no invalidar tzitzin.]

Melamed Leho'il Part II

However, who could tell us that [this youth] definitely knew he wasn't circumcised? Does every ‎sixteen-year-old child know the nature of circumcision and the visual difference? Perhaps he was ‎modest and never looked at it his entire life. Think about it [further], due to our many sins there ‎are areas in Germany where the mohelim are severe sinners and do not perform priah [lit. ‎revealing; peeling off thee pithelium]! Many children are therefore as though they were not ‎circumcised [at all], for we learn, "One who circumcised without priah is as if he had not ‎circumcised." (Mishnah Shabbat 19:6)However, none of them know that they are not circumcised; ‎certainly, they are like" children held captive among non-Jews". Further, even if they were to learn ‎afterward that priah is necessary, they wouldn't know that priah had not been performed on ‎them. Moreover: Even if you would say that he knew that he wasn't circumcised and despite that ‎he didn't circumcise himself, one could argue that he did so because he didn't want to pain himself, ‎and not because he kicked[i.e. rejected] the commandment of circumcision. If so, all would agree ‎that he was only a rebel concerning one matter, due to his desires. It seems to me that even in ‎Hungary the custom is not to distance the grave of such a rebel from other graves - in Germany, ‎the custom is certainly not so - and so there is no legal reason to change the youth's burial from the ‎burial of other Jewish sinners. ‎
