Brit
Milah
(Circumcision)
The ceremony
of the brit (ritual circumcision) represents the covenant between God
and Abraham and is mandated in Genesis 17:10-14. The brit takes place
during daylight hours on the eighth day after birth, although it may
fall on Shabbat or even Yom Kippur. Postponement is permissible on the
grounds of the infant's health. If delayed beyond the eighth day, the
brit is not rescheduled for Shabbat or another holiday. The brit should
be performed by a mohel: an observant Jew specially trained to perform
circumcisions. The baby is given his Hebrew name at the brit.
