Download or read book So You Want to Make a Bris written by Henry Michael Lerner, M.D. and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Years ago when most Jews lived in fairly close communities and were more observant of religious rituals, couples having a baby found it easy to get information about having a bris if the baby was a boy. Now with many young Jewish couples living far from their parents and home communities and having less knowledge about and observance of Jewish customs, such information is not as readily available. That is why this book has been written. Its goal is to provide clear, accurate information about all aspects of the modern bris ceremony. The information in this book will help couples 1) make decisions about having a bris, 2) choose a mohel, and 3) understand the medical and religious aspects of this significant family event.
