B'rit Milah: The Circumcision Ritual
WHAT IS B’RIT MILAH ?

B’rit milah, (literally, “covenant of circumcision”), also called a bris, refers to a religious ritual through which male babies are formally welcomed into the Jewish people. According to Jewish tradition, it is a parent’s obligation to circumcise a son and offer a threefold blessing for the child: a life enriched by Torah, the wedding canopy (chuppah), and good deeds. Today, a mohel or mohelet is routinely designated by parents to fulfill this custom.

WHAT IS A CIRCUMCISION?
Circumcision is a surgical operation in which the foreskin is removed from the penis. While today many male babies are routinely circumcised, Judaism sets the medical procedure in the context of a significant religious ceremony.

DID B’RIT MILAH ORIGINATE WITH THE JEWS?
For many ancient peoples, circumcision was a central observance, a rite of puberty or fertility, signaling the attainment of manhood at age twelve or thirteen, but a tribal rather than a religious practice.

HOW DID B’RIT MILAH BEGIN?
B’rit milah is the oldest religious rite in Judaism, dating back almost four thousand years. It is first mentioned in Genesis 17, when God commands Abraham: “Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and that shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. At the age of eight days, every male among you throughout the generations shall be circumcised, even the homeborn slave. . . . An uncircumcised male . . . has broken My covenant.” According to the Torah, Abraham immediately followed God’s command, circumcising himself, his son Ishmael, and all the males of his household. Abraham was ninety-nine years old at the time of his circumcision, while Ishmael was thirteen, which may serve in part to explain the common practice among some peoples of circumcision at puberty. From that time forward, however, Jewish males were circumcised at the age of eight days, not as a symbol of fertility but as a sign of their membership in a covenant people.

IS B’RIT MILAH REQUIRED FOR CONVERSION?
When an adult man who is already circumcised converts to Judaism, it is customary to take a symbolic drop of blood - effectively consecrating his pre-existing circumcision as being for the sake of entering the covenant of circumcision, this is called tipat dam (also known as hatafat dam berit).

While the the Reform Movement does not require that converts to Judaism become circumcised (adult berit milah), it is increasingly recognized and practiced as an important aspect of becoming a full member of the Jewish people.

WHO PERFORMS THE CIRCUMCISION?
According to Jewish law, the father or his representative is responsible for circumcising a male child. At one time, fathers actually circumcised their own sons. Abraham, for example, circumcised both Ishmael and Isaac. Over the centuries, however, the institution of the mohel emerged. The mohel, trained in the surgical procedures of b’rit milah, became a professional representative of the fathers of the community. To this day, most Jews insist upon retaining a mohel to officiate at the b’rit, either with or without a rabbi present. Modern mohalim, including Reform mohalim and mohalot, male and female physicians specially certified in ritual circumcision by the Reform Movement’s B’rit Milah Board, are carefully trained and certified. There is no reason to be concerned, then, about their professional expertise. With the use of topical anesthetic, the procedure does not involve any pain. When babies cry during the brit, it is usually because they are undressed and cold. Babies usually stop crying once they are dressed and held.

Family physicians can also be asked to perform the circumcision. The physician, when one is used, should be Jewish and may be joined by the leader of the religious ceremony of b’rit milah, whether a rabbi or a parent.

ARE OTHERS INVOLVED IN THE CEREMONY?
The sandak (“godfather” or “godmother,” derives from a Greek term meaning “one who is with the child” or “patron”) sits and holds the infant while the ritual is performed. When German Jewry introduced the concept of a kvatter and kvatterin (godfather” and “godmother”) in addition to the sandak, their assumption was that this couple would be copartners with the parents in providing for the child’s Jewish upbringing. Parents today will usually ask close friends to be godparents to their newborn baby. It is considered a great honor.

A treasured Jewish legend holds that the prophet Elijah is present at every b’rit milah. Elijah, most commonly thought of as the forerunner of the messianic age, is also often considered the “angel of the covenant” (Malachi 3:1), a protector of little children—in effect, the “guardian angel.” Jews, therefore, set aside a special chair for Elijah at the b’rit, with the baby placed in the chair prior to the circumcision.

WHAT SHOULD ONE EXPECT AT A B’RIT MILAH?
Customarily, two candles are lit in the room where the ceremony is to take place as symbols of life and the presence of God. (At one time, the lighted candles very probably were also intended to ward off possible demons that might try to harm the baby.)

The kvatterin (godmother) takes the baby from the mother and brings it to the kvatter (godfather).
The kvatter then enters with the child and everyone stands and says Baruch haba, “Blessed be he who comes.” This constitutes a welcome to both the infant and the prophet Elijah.
The father of the infant then recites a prescribed reading indicating his acceptance of the responsibility for bringing his son into the covenant, the b’rit.
The kvatter or mohel places the baby on the special chair for Elijah, which has been prepared prior to the ceremony. The infant is then lifted from Elijah’s chair and placed upon the knees of the sandak, while all others remain standing.
The mohel recites the following blessing: Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al hamilah. “Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has sanctified us through Your mitzvot and ordained circumcision.”
The mohel performs the circumcision in three steps: milah, the cutting of the foreskin; p’riah, the removal of the underlying membrane; m’tzitzah, drawing the blood from the wound. Milah is traditionally performed with a knife. Today, many mohalim use a special surgical clamp, which facilitates the operation.
During the circumcision, the father recites the following blessing: Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu l’hachniso b’vrito shel Avraham avinu. “Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Ruler of the universe, who has sanctified us through Your mitzvot and has commanded us to bring our sons into the covenant of Abraham our father.”
All those present recite a prayer expressing the hope that the baby will grow up into a life of study, marriage, and good deeds.
The mohel then chants the blessing for the wine and a prayer that gives the baby his Hebrew name. The godfather sips the wine, and a few drops are also placed on the baby’s lips. This concludes the traditional ceremony, although it is quite common to add songs, readings, and poetry. A festive meal traditionally follows.

Do you believe cutting off the healthy breasts of a 14 year old girl in the United States is acceptable, in any circumstance?

[sturg33]

Progress against child mutilation

[sturg33]

At some point it's just part of the party's DNA

The most depraved disgusting person that has ever been president. Truly embarrassing.

[sturg33]

[sturg33]

It is extremely evil that leftist and government institutions are pushing children into a life of misery and depression, with a known suicide rate that is astronomical

Pure evil

[sturg33]

I'm told by leftists this isn't happening, but see examples daily of it happening

[sturg33]

[Tapate50]

It’s just the same as a bris dude. Cmon

[sturg33]

How is it humanly possible that leftists support this ****

Can ANY of them in this board make an actual defense for it?

I know they can't, so they won't.

But they will keep voting blue to avoid being called a racist

So brave
