- BRIT MILAH The ceremony of the brit (ritual circumcision) represents the covenant between God and Abraham and is mandated in Genesis 17:10-14. The brit takes place during daylight hours on the eighth day after birth, although it may fall on Shabbat or even Yom Kippur. Postponement is permissible on the grounds of the infant’s health. If delayed beyond the eighth day, the brit is not rescheduled for Shabbat or another holiday. The brit should be performed by a mohel: an observant Jew specially trained to perform circumcisions. The baby is given his Hebrew name at the brit. Local Mohelim:
