Brit Milah

The bris or brit milah, is the covenant ceremony in which we welcome a baby boy into the world with thanks and blessing. A mohel performs the circumcision and the rabbi blesses the newborn and gives him a Hebrew name.

Generally, we hold this ceremony eight days after the baby is born, as commanded in the Torah.

The service is generally held in the home, with a small gathering of friends and family. The service can be personalized with songs and readings chosen by the parents. We share stories about the meaning of the baby's name and the person for whom the baby is named, as well as ways in which we pray the baby will be like him or her.

Rabbi Korngold can join the mohel of your choosing in conducting a personalized ceremony for your family.

We welcome the opportunity to work with all kinds of families to celebrate the beginning of their child's life. The charge for planning and facilitating this ritual is $600 in Boulder and $650 in Denver or any other area within an hour's drive from Boulder.

Please contact Rabbi Korngold jamie@adventurerabbi.com or 303.417.6200 ext. 10 for more information or to plan your ceremony.
