What is a bris ceremony?


Recently, our dear friends, Gerry & Linda, became grandparents to a beautiful baby boy, Rhys. His proud parents are Jonathan & Christine Hannon.

Eight days after he was born, we were able to meet him at his bris ceremony, the Jewish ritual circumcision.

This was a family/community-celebrated event which we felt honored to attend.
