I had the honor of attending a bris - a circumcision of a baby boy on the 8th day of his life. In this episode, you will learn about the history of this ancient Jewish tradition and what the ritual entails. 






Mentions: 


Bris or Brit Milah - the Jewish covenant of circumcision, performed on a baby boy’s eighth day of life by a trained mohel to welcome him into the covenant of Abraham.






Kvatters - usually a husband-and-wife team, who serve as messengers to bring the baby from the mother’s arms to the side of the room where the circumcision will be performed.






Sandek - the person honored with holding the baby on their lap during the circumcision ceremony, acting as a "godfather" or guardian 






mi sheberach - a traditional Jewish prayer for healing, requesting divine blessing, restoration, and strength for those ill or in need of recovery 






Siman Tov uMazel Tov (https://www.google.com/search?q=Siman...) - celebratory song






Mohel - a trained Jewish professional who performs the ritual circumcision
