The
word Bris means covenant
The word Milah, to cut.
Ritual circumcision is the covenant
G-d has established with the Jewish people through the commandment of
circumcision.
The
Bris ceremony has two parts
The actual circumcision and the naming.
It is customary to honor family and friends to participate in holding the
baby at various parts of the bris. The highest honor is to be the
sandak, who holds the baby during the actual circumcision. It is not
required to have a minyan- a group of ten at the bris. The parents can
choose to have a private ceremony on the eighth day and have a reception on
a later day when they are more rested.

The
Naming of the Child
Is the most emotional part of many
bris ceremonies. Ashkenazic-European
Jews have the custom of naming after
the deceased. The immortalizing
of a close relative or friend is
a beautiful tradition. Sephardic
Jews have the tradition to name
after the living. A child may have
one or more names, in accordance
with the parents' desires.

Bris
Milah
Judaism views body and soul as holy partners in serving
G-d. Therefore, the bris
is performed on the most physical
part, for all of man is holy before
his Creator. Bris Milah joins
the forces of body and soul together
in serving G-d
|
|
Why on the 8th day?
The kabbalistic writings teach us
that seven days represent the physical world of creation. Thus, when a child has
lived for eight days, he has transcended the physical to the metaphysical. The
covenant joining body and soul, physical and spiritual, can now take place. A
bris has no meaning when performed before the eighth day.
