The Hellenised Jews who engaged in non-surgical foreskin restoration were known as the Hasmoneans. They were known for their non-surgical foreskin restoration (epispasm) in order to join the dominant Hellenistic cultural practice of socialising naked in the gymnasium, where their circumcision would have carried a social stigma.
