The ritual event that I have chosen is Jewish Circumcision known as brit milah. In Hebrew the word brit means covenant and in Yiddish form it is known as bris. I will go over the origins, laws and details of the ritual along with the person who performs the ceremony. I will also go over the location and the time in which the ritual takes place as well for the reasons this ritual is performed and what the significance of the ritual is.
The brit milah is a life-cycle event that takes place right after birth. It has long been known as a primary symbol of male membership among the Jewish people. The procedure is a symbolic entry of an infant boy into the covenant that was made between God and Abraham 4,000 years ago. According to Genesis
