Bris Milah in Halachah

Mazel tov, it's a boy!

Amid the flurry of excitement and activity that follows a newborn boy's
entry into this world, the magnificent and momentous mitzvah of bris
milah approaches. Held only eight days after the birth, this exalted mitzvah
doesn't give much time for the new parents to prepare... which is partly what
necessitated the creation of this book.

Written by an experienced mohel, Bris Milah in Halachah is the premier guide
that every parent wishes for when making a bris. It includes all the relevant
halachos and information on the topic of bris milah, written clearly and to the
point, readable and understandable by even the most exhausted parents.

Some of the topics discussed in this book are:

• a step-by-step overview of what happens at a bris milah
• the reasons for a shalom zachor and vacht nacht, and their various
minhagim
• what to know and look out for when choosing a mohel and sandek
• how to choose an appropriate name for your child
• the various kibudim at a bris, and which are of greater importance
• what kind of menu to serve at the seudah
• tefillos to say and proper kavanos to have during the bris

Being blessed with a son is a tremendous gift - as well as a responsibility.
The decisions made regarding the baby's bris can impact the child's ruchniyus
forever. Bris Milah in Halachah will give you the clarity necessary to make the
right decisions about this important mitzvah, with joy and peace of mind!
