Recently, the chairman of the KKSY Community Aaron Maiso, and his wife proudly announced the birth of their newest baby boy. The photo shows them celebrating the Brit Milah which is the ceremony
during which circumcision is performed on Jewish baby boys when they are 8 days old.
This ceremony is important for Jewish people as it is a symbol of the covenant the Lord made with Abraham.
The baby is put on the knee of the sandek who is often the grandfather. The mohel (a person trained to perform circumcision) recites a blessing. The baby is circumcised. The mohel then blesses a cup of wine and announces the baby’s name in Hebrew.
