We went to San Francisco for the Bris of our new grandson and to learn his name. For those of you that do not know about the Bris, a brief wiki definition is pasted below:
The brit milah (Hebrew: בְּרִית מִילָה [bʁit miˈla], Ashkenazi pronunciation [bʁis ˈmilə], "covenant of circumcision"; Yiddishpronunciation, bris [bʀɪs]) is a Jewish religious male circumcision ceremony performed on the eighth day of a male infant's life by a mohel. The brit milah is followed by a celebratory meal (seudat mitzvah).
Our grandson passed around and then Gary secured him while the mohel preformed the circumcision. It really was a beautiful event with lots of love. During the ceremony we learned our grandson's name which is Sol Yitzhak Wilder Calmer. A baby naming is also a traditional part of the ceremony. We spent a beautiful and loving day together before returning home to Mendocino in the evening.
