Brit Milah is a ritual performed by Jews on the eight day of life. It combines a religious naming ceremony with the neonatoal circumcision, initiating a boy into Jewish life. I completed the course work this summer to perform the blessings and ritual, having already been proficient at the circumcision procedure. This was an important milestone for me as finding a mohel/mohelet (one who performs the Brit Milah) in Alaska or any rural area has always been a challenge. This achievement also pulls together my love of party planning, Judaism and the medical procedure itself.
