What is a Bris / Brit Milah? Circumcision as a Sign of the Jewish Covenant

Описание: "Bris" is a another way of saying "Brit Milah" which means "Covenant of Circumcision." If you are invited to a bris, you will be attending a ceremony marking the circumcision of a newborn boy (usually eight days old) as a way of consecrating his place of belonging among the Jewish people. A trained professional - a mohel or a physician - will surgically remove the boy's foreskin, while saying appropriate blessings. We celebrate bringing baby girls into the community in other ways, with no cutting required.

Brit Milah is also performed on adult men who wish to convert to Judaism, if they are not already circumcised.
