Circumcision
 Ritual circumcision, is
one of the most fundamental precepts of the Jewish religion. It is
referred to in the Torah as The Covenant of our forefather Abraham,
since he was the first to receive the commandment concerning
circumcision from G-d. "And he that is eight days old shall be
circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations."
(Genesis 17:12)
More than any other Jewish ritual, Bris Milah is an expression of
Jewish identity. Its fufilment symbolizes an affirmation of faith in
Abraham's ancient and still vibrant covenant with G-d. Through ritual
circumcision, parents create with their precious child yet another link
in the continuing chain of our people that has proudly survived the
challenges to its physical and spiritual existence over thousands of
years.
A Joyous Beginning A Bris Mila performed according to Jewish tradition
is a wonderful beginning for a new-born child. We will help you
find a Mohel and to plan the ceromony in order to make it a safe and
meaningful ceremony for everyone.
