        Also known as "Bris" or "Brit milah"


        From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


        The brit milah (Hebrew: ??????? ?????? [b?it mi?la], Ashkenazi pronunciation [b?is mi?lo], "covenant of circumcision"; Yiddish pronunciation, bris [b??s]) is a Jewish religious male circumcision ceremony performed on 8-day-old male infants by a mohel. The brit milah is followed by a celebratory meal (seudat mitzvah).       "Don't try this at home!"          http://www.hulu.com/watch/2323
